Top Ten of the Holidays with the White's

10. Nightly Candy Cane Hunts


9. Christmas with Valley Fair Santa

That's right, I said Valley Fair Santa. We drive out to Valley FAir Mall every year because there is never a line to see Santa. I guess all the gansta's know they've been bad, so what's the use? We had to force Bryant and Spencer to get in the picture, and after they saw Santa, who was very nice, Bryant laughed when Santa said "Mewy Chrithmath". I think that made it all worth it in his eyes.
8. Middle School Band Concerts

7. Sub For Santa
Unfortunately, we were so busy last minute, as we found out a family desperately needed help, I didn't take a moment to capture anything on film. However, we had the opportunity, thanks to Boyd's sister Amy, to help in buying Christmas for a family with three small children who had nothing.
6. Christmas Eve at Mom & Dad's

Neices and newphews: Ellie, Ginny, Addie & Ben all singing and calling out for Santa

Mom & Niece Hannah

Bro. Reese & Logan

Niece Ginny Joo Joo

Bry & Mom and Dad's 8th and favorite child, Deiter

Auntie La & Bry sneaking into the ham...
5. Grandma's Mouse House




Nieces Ginny & Taylor checking out Grandma's creation. I'm not sure of the story behind the mouse house, other than Grandma loves making things by hand, and she crafted this tiny house, complete with a picturesque snow scene outside the tiny window for her little hand-made mice. It's a holiday tradition to go over to Grandma's and see the house.
4. Christmas Eve PJ's

3. Putting out food for Santa's Elves

It was so cold!
2. Christmas Morning



Yes, it's true, that's a Batman figurine. Just like Reese...only Bryant doesn't strip down naked to poop!

1. Another Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa

Go Valley Fair Mall!
Do you guys pack some heat for your Santa trips?

I like your reasoning for the "no line for VF Santa." You're probably on to something.

The picture of Logan putting out treats for elves looks like he was coerced. "No mom! It's cold! I don't even believe in Santa, and just because I'm the baby and you want a picture, you make me go out here like a freaking baby and put out treats for santa! Just think of what this does to my street cred!"
