Santa did come to our house last night! Gavin was the first one to wake up at 6:15, but he slept through the night! I brought him to bed with us and nursed him. He wanted to get down from our bed at 6:45. Noe came into our room in the night and slept on our rug. Gavin crawled over to her and woke her up. She ran to check if Santa came and when she saw that he did, she woke Kaleb up at about 7:00. Kaleb is usually our early bird, so it was unusual that he was the last one up today. We did have a late night though last night, and I'm glad the kids slept so well. We began our morning with family prayer, and then started opening presents at about 7:15. We were all done by about 8:00, then the real joy began as the kids started playing with their new toys. We are all very thankful to Grandma & Grandpa Green Eyes, Gramma & Grampa Blue Eyes, the Martin's, the Cameron's, Rhonda, our friends from church, our friends from school, and of course Santa Claus for all of our wonderful gifts.

Kaleb-the-snowman and Noe-the-angel...
Gavin-the-elf and flashback to last Christmas- our best Christmas present ever!
The aftermath! Yes, our living room is trashed, but all 3 kids are entertained- hallelujah!
We ate Christmas Eve quiche and danishes for breakfast, watched A Christmas Carol, talked to our Lee, Pittl, and Reil families, and then went to the Lanshe's for a Barbeque. We had a wonderful day!
