Last week we were able to attend 2 very fun Christmas parties. First was our ward Christmas party which was extremely "JOY"full! I have to hand it to our activities committee for always going above and beyond to make such wonderful activities for us to go to. We are not the best at always attending these functions, but since this last one we have repented and will make sure to attend always! For crying out loud, you know it's going to be good when you walk in and the foyer is decorated like this:




Last Sunday was the annual Udall cousin gift exchange. Sorry for the lack of pictures. I remembered my camera... but not the battery plugged into the wall at home. Thanks Marcie for yours! So maybe if some of you guys who attended would post about it ...then I could steal pictures off of your blogs (hint,hint).
Sara had Lane this year and how did she know that he would love a bat and baseball?
Today Casey had to work so I decided to take Lane to the mall and see Santa. Do you think I let him sit on his lap after seeing the prices it would cost to let him do that? Plus stand in the 30 minute line? You bet your bottom dollar I DIDN'T! My gosh, they might as well rob you. Since Lane doesn't understand the concept, I just pushed the stroller up to the fence and let him look. Well Santa started to wave at him, then he got up, walked over to us, said hi and shook Lanes hand and gave him a book he was handing out to the other kids. Melt my heart! Lane loves Santa and I'm sure he loves him even more now. That sure beat the price of a $20 4x6 any day!
