Santa at our house

About 3 years ago we started a family tradition where Aaron dresses up as Santa for the kids in the neighborhood, ward, family and friends who want to come by. Aaron's grandpa used to dress up as Santa every year and since Hayden was born Aaron wanted to start that up again. As the kids get older in our family they are catching on but they still love it. This year we did it a few days before Christmas. We knew Hayden would know it was Aaron so we explained to him that he wasn't the real Santa but he dresses up as Santa to help him out and for other kids to get to see Santa. He was ok with it and super excited. The funny thing is Hayden knows its Aaron but was so excited that he would still think it was Santa. He would ask him where the reindeer are and tell him what he wants for Christmas and he was really into it, like he really believed. It was cute how happy he was...Emmie didn't like it at all. She screamed so she played in her pack and play in the family room and as family and friends came over she had some company in there. So the night turned out pretty good even though it was raining. We had a lot of families come and it was fun! I always hope people enjoy it and keep coming each year because its really fun for us and something Aaron wants to keep doing for our kids.


Our niece Karlee a little scared, I guess she didn't notice it was her uncle Aaron
Hayden has a small Santa outfit and he wanted to put it on too, he looked so funny in it!
