The Early Bird Gets the Muffin...The Lazy Bird Skips Santa!




Don't ask me how,
but every year we fail miserably
at getting to the
come-in-your-jammies 
Ward Christmas Breakfast,
and as everyone knows,
the yummy breakfast disappears fast!

This year,
we got our heinies into gear and
actually made it on time!

While munching on
fruit, muffins, eggs, bacon,
and the all important cereal,
we visited with friends
and enjoyed the spirit of the season.

...

My favorite part?

Skipping Santa.

I know.

Sounds horrible. 

We must be super-mean parents.

But last year,
Samuel and I waited in the Santa line
all by ourselves!

Then,
when it was time to jump on the big guys knee,
we had to corral them all back-
which was no easy feat!

Nope.

I'm not doing that again!

This year we laid down the law:

If you want to see Santa,
you have to stand in line yourself. 

The whole time.

Ava considered it for all of two seconds
before she said, "No thanks."

The other kids quickly agreed.

And there you go:

No Santa!

...

Merry Christmas
to the
Man in Red!

You got a break this year!
