Christmas Eve and Morning at Our House

We got home from the Alford home pretty late but still had plenty of time to get Santa set up for the night.  The kids excitedly put on their Christmas jammas and ran to the kitchen.  We set up cookies and milk for Santa and oatmeal for the reindeer.  When Brooklyn was 2 she decided that we needed to give oatmeal to the reindeer.  Even though she doesn't like it, she says they will!  We also set up right next to it the picture of a nativity scene that Brooklyn drew herself.  She wanted to show Santa that it was Jesus' Birthday!  She got stayed awake so late because she was worried that we weren't going to go to sleep so Santa could come!  Colson was just snoozing away! 

Ready to lay out the cookies!

Colson was in charge of the oatmeal for the reindeer

They wanted to sit and wait on him!

Santa came!

The one morning we wanted the kids to wake up early, they didn't!!!  We were supposed to make it to Mimi and Poppi's house at 8 and the kids didn't even wake up until 7:30!  Well, we had to wake Colson up!  Brooklyn was so thrilled with her Panda Pillowpet and Marmaduke movie and Colson took a little while to warm up!  I think his favorite gift was his bucket of dinosaurs!  He loves to pretend play with them and always asks for them!  His hippity hoppity ball and her inflatable hamster wheel have already given tons of laughs!!!  Brooklyn's response was, "Thank you Santa!"

The kids must have been good this year!

Taking a bit to wake up!

All smiles!  So excited!

She went for her stocking first!

They were so excited to open everything!

Such a fun gift!

Has caused several fights but many laughs!

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!

Off the the Lewis home for Christmas there!!!
