Lil' Dean Fam

If you make it to the end, there's a video!

We took the kids back to the Santa at the Harley Davidson dealer again this year.  We are really loving this tradition.  The night before, the boys saw Santa and Mrs. Claus at the ward party. They didn't care much for that Santa.  But this guy, they spilled their guts to.  Ryan had a nice long conversation with him then went back to tell him something else.  Evan was totally stoked to sit up on the bike.  He didn't want to get down.  He told Santa that what he wanted was too hard to explain, ha ha!  Emry still doesn't dig on Santa too much.  She cried again this year.  Oh well, maybe next year she'll like him more.   2010 Can't find a 2009 picture Evan (don't know where Ryan is)  2008 Ryan (Evan not born yet) 2007
