This past Saturday was the Kids Christmas Party for Shannon's squadron. Unfortunately, Sydney couldn't be there. She was at a Red Cross babysitting class all day. Sydney is now a certified babysitter and when she turns 12 in February, she'll be able to start working and earning her own money!
The party was a lot of fun. The boys made ornaments and decorated cookies. Santa even made an appearance! Liam was in awe, Ben was questioning if it really was Santa, and Sam was terrified! While sitting on Santa's lap he tried to reach for Ben's arm to save him!
Sunday afternoon we went to Wall Beach on base to take a family photo. The pictures turned out really nice - but the best part was after the "posing". The kids ran all over the place and played in the sand and in the water. The waves were pretty fierce so I didn't want anyone near the water. Of course, Ben and Sydney still managed to get soaked up to their knees in freezing salt water. Sam loved the wet sand and Liam drew pictures in the sand with sticks. It was a little cool, but a beautiful day! Later Sunday night it started pouring down rain and our power went out. We went to dinner at Mi Amore Pizza and Pasta and saw several friends from the base. We were happy we got to play on the beach before the rain began.

I love the family picture! Did you have somebody take it for you? You have such a beautiful family! Isn't it funny how babies are always scared of Santa!
