Here comes Santa Claus, Here comes Santa Claus.....right down Hardy Lane!

Oh, WOW!! Look what Santa brought me!!!

One of my favorite toys; a Front-End Loader

How COOL is that? Hanging out with Santa!











All tuckered out after Santa's visit-notice in the picture what he fell asleep with?


Mr. Claus came to visit the Hardy boys on Thursday, December 4th. We have the cutest video, that I hope to upload to the blog ASAP, of John Parker inviting SC in the house and blowing kisses to him as he was exiting the door. He wasn't the least bit scared-never has been. As for Sawyer, you could tell he could care less what was going on at the moment. He, too, was a trooper for Santa.


On a side note: My friend, Suzanne Cotton, was sweet enough to purchase "Elf on the Shelf" for me last week and we have been enjoying Mr. Elfie's company immensely at our house -on a daily basis. John Parker loves searching for him EVERYDAY!! This is a definite "MUST BUY" for those of you with children.

You got some really great pics with Santa. You can tell that John Parker isn't scared of him! I'm glad that Jack never has been either. What a great gift for your boys that Santa came to their house!! Looks like a great visit. I like the Christmas pjs too!

Lori,
Jeremy refers to the pjs that JP is wearing as "Hugh Hefner Pajamas"--great thing to call it, right? Leave it to the men....:)

Do you like Elf on the Shelf? I was wanting to buy it for Ivy, but did not know if she was too young. Tell me how John Parker acts with it. May be too late this year, but definitelly i thought for next year after Thanksgiving night. oh, and JP just talked to me the other day at GA.. He's a cutie!!

Hey...did "Santa" forget about a present for Sawyer?!?!?! HAHAHA!!

Cute pics and I think JP sleeping with his loader is too sweet!

VERY cute! I, on the other hand, have kids that are VERY scared of Santa. I've had to be in the Santa picture the last 2 years just to get Gracie near him! We actually did a portrait session with him this year though and she loved him. I plan to post about it soon:)

I am glad J.P. got a front-end loader for christmas! If it wasn't in the picture, I wouldn't have a clue what that is! J.P. looks like he belongs in my christmas card-his cute p.j's match the girls perfectly! Maybe Sawyer will see his brave big bro next year with Santa and not be afraid! They both are adorable as I AM SURE YOU KNOW!
I saw that we did have your address and I put you a card in the mail. Hope your christmas is warm and merry!

My sister bought Elf on the Shelf for Reed this year so I bought it for Callie. I know they are a little young, but it is the cutest thing ever!!!!!! I am glad someone else is enjoying it! See you Saturday!

Those are some cute, cute pics of the boys and Santa! I'm glad JP got his front end loader, as all little boys should have one!! JP is really starting to look just like you, I think it's the more hair he has or maybe just in these pics, but he definitely looks like Mommy, very handsome and Sawyer is adorable!! So sweet!

By the way, how are you so good at remembering all these dates for everyone?! Love ya!

Matti said...

Julie, Guess what!!! Yesterday Jeff went to his monthly deacon's meeting and they told him that this year for Christmas that his gift from them was going to be a trip to New Orleans and 3 tickets for us to go to the Sugar Bowl!!!! Isn't that the most awesome thing ever?????

Beth said...

Isn't Christmas fun with your kids? I just love it! Just found out Ty is getting "Elf on the Shelf" from Aunt Chanda. Can't wait to get it for next year. I've heard it's so fun.

And, oh, by the way, I think Ty and JP have the same toys on their wish list. We're hoping Santa leaves a big bulldozer and backhoe on Christmas Eve under the tree!!
