Santa Claus is coming to the Fire Station!

Last night we joined with lots of Provo Firefighters and welcomed Santa to Fire Station 5.  The kids were excited!  It was a crazy madhouse, but it was fun.  One of the firefighters is a professional photographer and he took some amazing photos.  Have I mentioned how much I LOVE his job?!  Maybe because of our long wait to get this job, it just makes it even more appreciated. 

 Jacob is telling Santa that he wants a tablet.  We talked him down from an iPad, which was his first choice.  Seriously, the kid is 4!  It starts WAY too young!

 This is the very first year that Ashlyn has willingly sat on Santa's lap.  NO JOKE!  She is always scared every year and we usually have to bribe her talk her into it before she'll consider it.  She told Santa that she wants a remote control puppy (since we can't have any pets, she's resorted to a remote control kind)

 Jayden told Santa he wants Minecraft (a PC game).  When I look at this picture I think, Is that kid mine?!  He's getting so tall!  It wont be too many more years and he'll be taller than me!  AAAHHH!  Usually when people see our kids for the first time they comment on how much Jayden looks like his dad (both facial features & also tall and skinny).  Last night, someone commented on this and then they said that they were even standing the exact same way too.

What a bunch of cuties!
