Santa Party 2010

The Robson's hosted the annual "Santa Party" this year.... as usual is was fantastic! The food was delicious, the kids were happy, the adults relaxed and enjoyed each others company, and Mr. and Mrs. Claus topped off the evening!

Hannah asked for "world peace".... Santa said "probably not."

Kim and her new grandbaby "Colton."

The kids...waiting for their turn with Santa!

The paparazzi!

Easton was nearly last to have his name drawn out to sit on the big mans lap! HE WAS NOT TOO HAPPY:(

Me and Preston (the coolest kid ever)!

Chance... he goes completely DEAF/MUTE when he sits Santa's lap. ha ha ha. He couldn't even murmur the words "remote control jet" to let Santa know what he wanted!

Little Luke...he was hilarious this year! He was full of great info for Santa!

The classic: Brandon and Liz taking a photo of themselves (tradition)

Okay, I'm not sure if Santa will be returning to our family next year??? Chance dared Amanda to tell Santa that he smelled like "beef and cheese." I'm not sure he got the joke?? But we all laughed our heads off!

This is Amanda's boyfriend "Brandon." I'm not too sure he knows what he's in for??? ha ha ha

Easton loved it sooo much when he finally got his turn:)

Thanks to the Mackay's and Culley's for another great year of SANTA FUN!!!

*BTW...Addie isn't in any of our pictures because she was home sicker than a dog. That poor girl was so, so, so sick. And this was her very favorite party of the year. However; one of her favorite cousins "Macie" was also trapped up in her bedroom with the same awful flu!

From the mouths of "our babes":

*Our doorbell rang. Chance ran to get it. No one was there. He said, "oh darn,it must have been a knocker-ditcher." (Otherwise known as a doorbell ditcher.)

*Chance climbed in the back of the car this afternoon, and said "ewww mom, the back of your car smells gross...it smells like fries and poo all mixed together."

There was a little boy acting very naughty in Chances primary class...he turned and told the boy that he was an "ANGRY ELF." The teacher told me that it made her whole day and she nearly peed her pants laughing. (We were visiting at a different ward, which makes it even funnier because he didn't even know the boy.)

*Chance's kindergarten teacher's name is Mrs. Rasband, he came home and told Brandon that her name is Mrs. Wristband! Close enough

*As we were driving through the farmlands, Addie blurts out from the backseat, "it's cool how HAY grows, it just randomly pops up in perfect little blocks!" (She was DEAD serious)

*We came home from camping and Addie turns to me and says, "Mom, it feels so good to be home and walk on the grass and have a cup of milk!"

*We ate at a "Thai" restaurant tonight. Addie was so sick of peanuts on all of the food. She finally looked at me and said, "what the heck, do they have a peanut tree in that kitchen or what?"

*Chance asked me, "Mom, why Jesus make me so fast?" (Basically asking why he is such a fast runner)

*Chance was looking through the neighbors fence at their dog and he came running back across the street and said " oh sick, that dog just bless you'd all over my face!" Apparently, that means the dog sneezed on him!

*Chance calls "Walkie Talkies"... "Hickey Tickies"

*Hannah told me that we are going to give her "arthritis" because we are making her camp in a tent this year. (We sold our big fifth wheel last year.) Poor kids!

*We went thru the drive-up at Wendy's and they were out of Frosty's. As we pulled away, Chance murmurs to himself: "damn, damn, damn!" (I will take full responsibility for that one!) Needless to say, we had a little chat!

*Chance says that "chocolate milk" is his favorite taste!

*Chance was picking the seat of his pants today, and I said "what's wrong son, do you have a snuggy?" And he said, "no mom, I don't have a snuggly, my bums are just stuck together.

*Tonight at dinner, Addie told us that her favorite solid food is BUTTER and her favorite liquid food is SPRAY BUTTER!

*Chance told me today that his brain was making him scared to go to school. (He just kept holding his head in his hands)

*We had a "chick" die this weekend. Of course the kids made us do a burial. Apparently it freaked Chance out, and he wouldn't sleep in his bed because he just knew there were dead chicks in the sheets, and his feet could feel the feathers!

Easton "Such a Big Miracle, in such a Little Boy"

For those that don't know, our little boy nearly drowned in a bathtub accident when he was just 7 months old. I had run a bath for myself and left Easton (who could barely crawl) in his room on the floor. I ran out to the kitchen to clean up a glass my daughter had broken. When I returned to the bath... Easton had pulled himself into the bathroom and was floating face down in the water. He had his feet pajama's on which helped him slip over the side. He was under for about two - four minutes and it took four minutes of CPR from his daddy before he took his first breath. He was taken by ambulance to "Primary's" where he stayed in the ICU overnight. He had a full recovery. We are so, so lucky! He is ONE YEAR OLD now and we're so happy that our heavenly father decided that we could keep him!!! He brings so much SUNSHINE into our lives. "We love you Eastie". I put this on my blog for my own journal, but also for people to always be aware of your kids around water...they are capable of sooo much more than you may think!
