Santa in the Hood

Santa in the 'Hood has got to be some of the best memories I have from living in our neighborhood. We've been making this tradition happen since the oldest kids were toddlers...for a trip down memory lane, see here, here, and here. Gosh, they've grown up fast! This year was just as exciting...the magic of santa is still very much alive in each of these kiddos.

 

Who's at the door??

Complete joy on their faces... 

All of the good daddies doing their part by filming the event.

Santa brought some reading material for each of the kids!

Love this...the big girls reading to Hayden :).

The Eilrich kids chatting with santa...

2/3 of the Buchman kids (Everlee was not impressed with the jolly old guy)...

Our happy trio...

And the Cooper kids.

Precious!

After santa left, the kids made some jingle bells, ate cookies, then bundled up to go Christmas caroling around the neighborhood. I'm pretty sure it ended up being the COLDEST day in December, so our caroling was short-lived, but the kids had a blast and the neighbors enjoyed the "entertainment." Awesome memories made with great friends!
