Here comes santa claus... and lots of family!! (08)

So like all families the holidays are crammed packed for us. We start witha wonderful day when we went to Pinnacle Hills to shop, it was a great day so we took advantage of the 60 degree weather and took some pictures. Chaz loved hiding in the big plastic presents around the tree. We would chase him and he would hide. It was such a great time..

and then the next weekend we went to see santa..... he was great up until his daddy sat him on santa's lap... and then there was no return.. i had to buy a picture because it was absolutely priceless.

My sister in law with my two favorite twin boys.. benjamin and brandon..

Usually at the beginning of December...we begin the season with the Annual hill family and friend UGLY christmas sweater party. This tradition began many many years ago (before the ugly sweater part) with some friends from college. Some have left and new have come in. note that it is a very coveted event. Only the best survive :) Last year we added in the ugly sweater part of the party, there is a good prize every year and it leads to insane outfits!!

The Hill kids and significant (minus Brad and his wife Michelle who were unable to make it --they live in north carolina) Ryan, Me, Cameron, Marcy, Meghan and Mike

the Clawson Clan.. i don't even know how to caption this .. it is priceless


The Hills.... note: the little guy's shirt had motion sensored lights...

Jackson.


If you have never been to the square in Fayetteville for lights of the Ozarks i suggest going there... there are poines, tons of lights and camels... what a better time for the kiddos!

Chazman point at the lights.. "out, out" he kept saying..
Ryan decided to try and ride the camels with chaz. It was very funny because they had to wear these silly helmets with santa hats attached to them (safety regulation by the city) The hat was WAY to big for chaz and kept falling to the side. It was very hard for me to take pictures because i was laughing SO hard... enjoy!
