Santa Claus surprised us with a visit and treats for all the children
They were excited and followed him all around as he cheered member young and old.

Lots of visiting and enjoying the warmth of the season. People were moving from table to table having a great time being together

Sister Humphrey with Santa Claus who happens to be our landlord.

His wife died three years ago of cancer. She was a favorite in the branch and loved having the missionaries live in her home. She is greatly missed by the branch. Thor is a great landlord and joins us on Monday night for Home Evening.

Lars Steinsvik is a little old to be pleading for goodies from Santa but the children loved watching him plead for some treats. We all enjoyed his enthusiasm at the arrival of Santa. Santa is called julenissen in Norway.

Elder Humphrey won the chocolate candy when he found an almond in his rice pudding. The children were so hoping they would get the almond. They like their Branch President so I think it was ok that he got it if none of them were lucky enough to get it.
