The Holly, Jolly Hiker and other Christmas Tunes

Wednesday night, the boys had the elementary school Christmas concert at the main visitor center. They sang some great Grand Canyon style Christmas carols like the Holly Jolly Hiker, The Twelve Days of Christmas - Grand Canyon style, and Bridie the Burro to the tune of Frosty the Snowman.
After singing for about 30 minutes, the big man came. It was so fun watching the younger kids light up and the older ones scrambling to get their mental Christmas lists together.

Ethan was saying something to Santa about being old and losing all his hair so Santa had to show him that it was real.

Dylan didn't want anything to do with Santa until I told him they were giving out candy canes to the kids that sat on his lap. All Dylan said was, "I like candy!" and then he wanted to stand in line. You can't tell from this picture, but he walked up all by himself and let Santa pick him up and put him on his lap. That's when he realized he wanted to be ANYWHERE but there.

Logan was all about being cool. He had a pretty sore knee from landing on a nail in the snow a few days before but somehow managed to push through the pain and give Santa his list.

Tom's face says it all. He really wants to be on Santa's lap but is at that sad crossroads of being too big at the same time. I can't believe he is as old as he is already!
