This Is What Love Looks Like: SURPRISE Visit from Santa!!!!!

On Saturday evening, we had a little family pre-Christmas party at Granny and Grandpa's house. "Uncle" Billy will be going home to MI to spend Christmas with his family this year and did not want to miss our annual Secret Santa gift exchange and more importantly, seeing the babies all decked out in their adorable Christmas attire! Little did we all know that SANTA himself would be making a SURPRISE appearance to the family get together!!!! What a wonderful surprise this was to all!!!

Predictably, Santa was wonderful with the babies.....and I am happy to report that after a while, Jack really warmed up to Santa since the Big Man in Red spent so much time playing with him! Santa also brought with him extremely thoughtful and personalized gifts for EVERYONE at the party, including Ralphie!!

We want to say a very special and heartfelt "thank you" to Aunt Katie and "Uncle" Billy for coordinating this remarkable Christmas surprise!!! Also, keeping a secret with this crowd is close to impossible...so, my hat goes off to you for that as well:)

Here are just SOME of the shots I took from the Christmas party. You may be able to notice from the pictures that I am LOVING my early Christmas present--a new camera flash-- from my WONDERFUL husband. I still have lots of practicing to do, but so far, I am happy with what I see!!!

"Oh Daddy, I am still not so sure about this guy!!!"

Grandpa Harris and the Little Man truly surprised when Santa made his debut appearance!!

Aunt Katie really proud of herself for keeping this surprise a secret!

Jack watching Santa as he is distributing the many presents that he brought.....the Little Man is anxiously awaiting for his name to be called so he can go claim his presents since he was such a good boy this year!
