Christmas Morning

Christmas morning is becoming more and more fun! The kids "get it" now...I think. I've learned Isabel doesn't like Santa, though. I showed them our fireplace & said that Santa comes down the chimney & out of the fireplace. She kind of got teary eyed & said, "Is Santa is going to come in my room?" All I picture is this creepy Santa standing over Isabel's bed & when she opens her eyes he says, "Hello Isabel". I told her that Santa would not be going in to her room. I think she was relieved...even though she asked me about 18 more times.

At 8 am, I heard the boys quietly talking. It didn't sound like it was coming from their room though. I rolled over to the side of the bed & looked out in to the living room & there the boys sat, opening their stockings. I said, "Nate! Get up!! The boys are already up opening their stuff." That was kind of a bummer. There was no...."Close your eyes guys...now open! Wow! Look at all that stuff Santa brought." Nonetheless, we still had a great morning followed by Christmas at my mom's and Christmas at Nate's grandma's.

Santa put a giant Kit Kat in Jasper & Isabel's stockings. We're talking GIANT. Not a king size, but like 3 of those king size kit kats. He was all over that thing.

Skittles for Jonah since he doesn't like chocolate.

He ate that whole darn thing!

Jasper's AT AT from Star Wars. That is all that kid wanted. He was screaming as he was opening it.

Jonah all snuggled up in Nate's guitar case.
