Santa and Sleigh Rides....

Friday night we over to Kent and Kathy Fitch's (Jakes parents) for their annual Christmas party. They rent out a horse and carriage (actually two of them but one is transformed into a sleigh) and take the kids up and down the streets of their tract, and Kent puts on a Santa suit and the kids have a ball! Their house is always decked out from floor to ceiling, inside and out, its their own little winter wonderland over there. Hot apple cider, cookies and candies galore, and of course pizza!! The kids run wild for a few hours and enjoy the scenery, and the livestock in the front yard! :)

Well Luke and I brought the kids over, along with Kylee, and lemme just tell ya, not a pretty sight! I have NEVER seen two kids DESPISE Santa as much as mine. Oh my gosh! As soon as Luke and Wy walked up the driveway, Kent AKA Santa, walked right up to them and started talking to Wyatt. I thought Wyatt was going to jump right outta Lukes arms and drive himself home. Screaming, crying, climbing up Lukes chest. OMG! It was hilarious, he stopped just long enough to take a candy cane from Santa (still with his lip out a mile long!). Jack caught on to all that commotion and climbed into my arms saying "I just want to sleep on your shoulder!" Almost like he was trying to be brave, and not admit he was deathly afraid of Old St Nick, just an excuse to close his eyes. It was so funny. Well Santa rides on the sleighs alot of the time, at least until he changes his clothes and takes off the beard! So for the first hour we were there Jack would not ride on the sleighs. Infact he steered clear of the front yard the whole time. Finally once "Santa went back to the North pole" he wanted to ride. So we took him on their with his brother and a bunch of the other kids, Mason, Kylee, McKenna, Ryder, Boston. He LOVED it. The horses of course stink so the older kids kept telling Jack and Mason that the horses were farting which jack thought was hilarious. He kept asking throughout the night to go on but it gets COLD on those things, so a few times I pawned him off on some of the parents and he rode with them. The kids had a great time, and completely confirmed that they were scared outta their mind of Santa.... Here is a few pics of the kids and their buddies...
