Christmas always brings tamales to thunder lake circle as the Baros hold their annual party. This year, they took things up a notch by inviting Santa to the party.

Santa had a list of all the neighborhood children (most of whom had been nice) and after he led a sing-along with all the kids at his feet, he entertained requests from each one.

Of course all the parents couldn’t get enough of the kids and Santa – it seems these days the paparazzi is a staple of any young kid’s life.

Elsie enjoyed hanging out with dad and showing off her pink ribbon: spoons are fun!
