BYU Christmas Party

Every year on the first Saturday of December, BYU has a family party for employees.  The kids look forward to this all year long.  There are games with little prizes, a craft room, letters to Santa, donuts and punch while you watch local dance teams or choirs do their things, a movie, a huge long line to see Santa (we never have stood in it), and the boy's favorite is a taking pictures with Cosmo.  This year was lots of fun because we had Mom, Melissa, and Nicki with us.  It's always good to have a little crowd control help with five kids.
 One of the favorite with the little ones is the balloon pit.  Seth beelines for it every year.  This year they added a prize if you could pop a balloon.  And amazingly enough our quiet boy Seth managed to do it.  Yes, sarcasm implied.
 
 Another favorite is the fish pond.  Joseph always tries to see inside the hole.
 
 Felicity enjoying the fish pond.
 
 Abby's first go in the balloon pit.  She loved it.  And this is why I say that the easiest and best parties for little kids have something to do with balloons, it'll always be a hit!
 
 Joseph won a compass at the cake walk.
 
 Caleb spent such a long time at the cake walk trying and trying to win.  He was so close several times, but never quite won.
 
 Pin the red nose on Rudolph was new this year.
 
 Felicity trying to get the nose in the right spot.
 
 Abigail wasn't very happy about being stuck in the stroller for most of the time.  But it's so much easier when they can't move unexpectedly!
 
 Seth taking it all in.

 Seth hates being blindfolded, he'd just rather swing as hard as he can while looking at it!
 Caleb getting ready to whack it!
 
 Felicity hitting it delicately.
 
And the famous Picture With Cosmo!
