I am playing catch up on blogging today because it has been a month since I posted! I know that it is way too long and we have had a lot going on to post about! Last night we enjoyed a fun tradition called Santa on the Roof. Kristin's mom started this tradition when they were young. They would invite all of the neighborhood kids and family friends to come to their house to see Santa. After singing a few carols to lead Santa to the right house, Santa appears on the roof and hands presents down to each of the kids. Kristin and her sister have continued the tradition over the last few years, but this was the first time that we were able to make it. It was held at Jessica's house (Kristin's sister), which is actually the house that they grew up in.
Joshua enjoyed the caroling...
Joshua spotted Santa as he walked down the roof. We were prepared for a "Funniest Home Video" moment, thinking that it would be very possible that Santa would slide down the roof. It didn't happen, which was good because it would have scared about 30 children!
Joshua proudly carried around the bag that Santa dropped to him! In each of the goody bags were homemade lollipops that Kristin and Jessica made. They have started a business called PopCulture. You can go to their blog to see their products...they are really cute and taste very good (Peter & I each had a few licks of Joshua's lollipop).
While we were waiting for all of the other children to get their bags, Joshua just stared at Santa. He even learned his name and called out for him quite a bit.
Joshua was not a big fan of Santa once he came down off the roof! Last year we had a sweet picture of Joshua staring into Santa's eyes and enthralled with his beard...quite the opposite this year!

Last night was really fun!! I am still laughing a bit at the babies' pictures with Santa. They all had exactly the same expression. :-)

I'm so happy that you guys were able to come - I always love seeing your sweet family!
I am thinking I shouldn't even bother with Santa this year. So far in every picture I have seen the kids are crying. It will be funny to laugh about when he is older though.
That picture of Joshua with Santa is CLASSIC. You must frame it!
