Christmas at Uncle Terry and Aunt Cheryl's........

This is Jon. As we do each year, we headed down to Yakima to spend time with Brittany's mom's side of the family at their annual Christmas party.

Santa has made a personal visit every year and last year was the first year the girls warmed up to him without our help. This year was pretty much the same for Delaney, but Adelyn was a little skeptical. Santa does a great job. Gifts, stories, songs and a Christmas lesson.

The girls with cousin Madison.

All the kids at the party. If you notice Delaney is in the middle holding Santa's magic key.

Adelyn chatting up Santa. If Dan is reading this, he didn't wear his Santa hat the entire time, but it was very much near him.

Adelyn thrilled with her new make up kit. The makers of Oxy Clean carpet cleaner are thrilled that Adelyn has since painted her carpet with the make up. Not sure who made the call to get a three-year old make up, but I'm sure she's a really pretty lady whose name begins with a B and ends in rittany.

Delaney and her Zu Zu pet, which is really a motorized rat with wheels. The thing has already scared the ()*^)(&*()*& out of me a few times since I've seen it scurry across the kitchen floor and I've mistaked it for a live mouse.

Brittany's brother Logan with Lyndsay and Kaia. This picture is great since Kaia is checking out Santa and it looks like he's doing the same thing.

Kaia and Aunt Brittany. I like Kaia's hand placement here.

Logan sportin' the 'stache. I've decided that's going to be my Christmas gift to Brittany this year.
