The Mall Santa

HO HO HO it's Saint Nick at Provo Towne Center!!! We managed to get to the mall the day before christmas. After going to visit it Santa we went to the Verizon kiosk to figure out what is wrong with Shayla's cell phone, but after 2 hours of darting through people and trying to stay together, we didn't have any luck. Ended up going to the Verizon store in Orem for another hour and a half to find out that it is her battery and they didn't have any in stock, so the waiting game for them to ship a new one, Shayla is tickled pink, she can hardly contain herself!!!!!! (LOL)

Who says you are too old for Santa?

My my aren't they a happy looking bunch? I can't believe I got Ryan to sit on his lap

Shayla looks so happy to be there! Santa kept calling JC "Isaac" he has no idea why either? I asked him if he asked for his name and he said no. Oh well, I'm sure santa remembers who he is

Wootton Christmas Party

Ahhhhh! The annual Wootton family Christmas party! We had it at our house this year because we have more room. Instead of the traditional ham or turkey dinner, we did a mexican fiesta. We had a bar where you could make burritos, tacos, and taco salads. We also had all the fixins including rice, 7 layer bean dip and chips. My brother brought "Horchata" a mexican rice drink. First time I have had this and it was pretty good. After we opened our presents from each other we had a wrapping-paper-ball-fight. Here is Andrew (my nephew) aiming at Shayla and her friend Kayla

I have 3 brothers, but only two could come (the 3rd lives in Las Vegas) My brother John is on the far couch with his wife Shelley, they have 6 kids Zach-14, Andrew-12, Regan-8, Jenna-5, Olivia-2 and Jack-3 months. My brother Jeff is on the other couch with his arms up and his wife Emily, they have 2 boys Brandon-6 and Aaron-4. We had a full house, but a blast at the same time!!

Ryan, Brandon, and Aaron watch me open our gift which turned out to be pictionaryman! I am so excited to play it!!!

Shirley has been my moms friend for at least a thousand years!!! She is part of our family and we invite her to all of our get togethers. Shelley is the blonde and Emily is the brunette. I love my sister-in-laws! They are the best!

Ohhhh! Poor sleepy baby!!! Jeff worked so hard at making his burritos that he needed a "siesta", but I think we all did!!!!

Shayla plays the oboe (the hardest instrument to play). She loves it! She has played it for two years and we are so proud of her. I love to go to her concerts. Her teacher works really well with them, and it is amazing to watch them get better with each year!

Enjoy a video of them playing Mission impossible
