After we finished eating cake and ice cream in celebration of Jackie and Steve's birthday - the doorbell rang and in came the big man himself - with a HO, HO, HO! Surprisingly he had presents for all of us - and a real beard!!! The boys and Alyssa all knew that this was the REAL Santa!
Jack was the first one called up to sit on Santa's lap!
Then it was Nick's turn!
While Nick was telling Santa all of his Christmas wishes, Luke and Alyssa were waiting patiently for their names to be called!
Alyssa's name was called next!!! And check out this smile - no more tears!!!
Luke couldn't wait to sit on Santa's lap and tell him about how he wants a Dora the Explorer Dollhouse!
Henry was up next, but a little scared, so he stayed on Jackie's lap!
Even the adults got gifts!!! Gigi LOVED sitting on Santa's lap!
My turn...
Dan giving Santa some BIG hugs!!!
Uncle Bryan!
Stevearino!
Papa was SO excited to get called up to see Santa!
Nana - you forgot to take your glasses off! :)
By the time it was time to go, Henry had warmed up to Santa - well, sort of - his face isn't smiling, but at least he is close to him without crying! Poor Jackie didn't get a pic of her and Santa alone, Henry wouldn't allow it, but this is a great one!
After Santa got back to his reindeer and sleigh, it was time for us to open our presents! Santa brought all the kids zhu zhu pets and duffel bags - to use when we go visit Bryan and Alyssa! Dan and I each got Mascoutah Dad and Mascoutah Mom hoodies!
Santa also gave all the grownups Bingo Scratch Off lottery tickets! SOME of us, just HAD to scratch them immediately!!!
All 5 kids felt like dancing after Santa's departure! Check out their moves!!!
What a FUN night!!! Great lasagna (thanks to Nana!), birthday cake and ice cream for Jackie and Steve's birthdays AND a visit from Santa!!! The night couldn't have gotten any better!!!

Santa was very generous this year. I love my pajama pants he brought. I'm still curious as to why he keeps bringing Papa Jack presents, him being so naughty and all. My wife sure looks pretty in her pic with Santa and Hank. Glad Hank warmed up to him before he left and gave him a hug.
