Special Guest

The Gisler family tradition lives on! We were excited to have Santa drop by the house to visit the boys (Jack and Luke, as well as Zak, Josh and Nathan!) Before Santa's visit we had a gift exchange with the Del Vecchio's (thanks to Jody for the pictures- I stole them from her blog :) )

Seems like Zak likes his new Star Wars tent- it will make a good home for the "Star Wars Guys!" Jack loves his new Batmobile/plane!
Luke and Josh work as a team. They also took turns chewing on the Lego parts that came with Luke's cool new truck.

For now, Josh was more interested in Luke's box than his new guitar.

The boys had to start singing Christmas carols to get Santa to come. They did pretty good with Jingle Bells (twice!) and Santa Claus is Coming to Town... (3 songs, in keeping with Gisler tradition, according to Tiffany!) Luke is in the background checking out the Star Wars tent. He has to wait until the big boys are occupied in order to get a good look!

"I can hear him!"

Santa Arrives!

Zak went first, and did a great job telling Santa about all the things he wants for Christmas!

Nathan brought his letter to Santa.

Jack was excited. After weeks of telling us that he wants the Batcave and Robin for Christmas (which is what he wrote in his letter to Santa weeks ago!), he switched up on us and told Santa that he wants a Mickey Mouse radio. Where did THAT come from? That's exactly why I wanted Santa to visit well before Christmas- so that there's time to respond. Now his elves need to get busy finding a Mickey Mouse radio! The funny thing is right before Santa got there, Jack told me he was going to ask for the Batcave and Robin. So this REALLY threw us for a loop.

Luke did good with Santa, but didn't have much to say.

Josh wasn't so sure about this bearded stranger...

Santa's helper was Tiffany, who carried Santa's bag of goodies for the boys. The boys were very excited about their gifts- they were very on point. Jack has been playing with Wolverine all weekend and refers to it as the special toy Santa brought him :)
