A visit from Santa

Santa stopped by Friday night just to make sure he had the most up to date list from the Parkers. He also reminded Ella that he was keeping an eye on her and to try really hard not to get her monster moved in class for talking out of turn ;) Her whole demeanor and how serious she took this conversation was priceless!

Ryder warmed up quicker than expected (not at all was expected) and sat on his lap with only slight hesitation this year. He even gave a high five and a fist bump.

 We heard from a little birdie that Santa would love some of Grandma Cindy's turnip kraut, so we hooked him up with an early Christmas gift.

 And he also insisted on a picture with Grandpa Jay before he left knowing full well that it would make it to all the guys at the station for an easy giggle.
