Blatter Family Christmas Party

I'm not good at blogging- I post way too many pictures, but I can't help it! So here you go! We went to the Blatter Family Christmas party last night- we had a wonderful dinner and enjoyed a visit from Santa. Rylee and Ashlyn played with cousins and had a great time.

The party was at Oma's church, so the kids (and some of the dads) played a little basketball.

Ashlyn is showing me the reindeer on her shirt.

Ready to eat!

Matt's cousin, Kristie's little girl, Hailey, Rylee, and Ashlyn on the stage.

Matt's cousins, Madison and Campbell, and the girls. The little girls love playing with the big girls. They are so good to play with them- but it doesn't seem like too long ago that they were the "little girls" themselves!!

Now Rylee's ready to eat- right by Madison.

Showing off her reindeer shirt.

Ashlyn didn't like Santa again- not too close anyway!
Santa gave her a Christmas singing cow.

Daddy's turn to sit on Santa's lap with Ashlyn- I had to take a good picture! I didn't want to have to try to get another picture with Santa- how much can you torture a child?!?

She loved watching everybody else sit on Santa's lap though!

Rylee's turn- she absolutely loves sitting on Santa's lap and telling him she wants a dog!

Rylee got a singing reindeer from Santa.

The reindeer matched her shirt.

Rylee couldn't get enough of Santa- we had to tell her to move out of the way a lot while other people were getting their picture taken!

Grandma and Grandpa Blatter's turn.

Our turn.

Oma and Opa's turn- and Ashlyn wanted to see Santa again- but not sit on his lap herself!

But she actually looked at him this time!
