Our Christmas was very fun. The kids really got into this year and we left out cookies and milk as well as some food for the reindeer that Christopher got in his kindergarten class. Here's a funny and sad story. After we put out the cookies and milk I heard Annie crying in the dining room. I went in there and she had one of the cookies in her hand and she had taken a bite of it. She was so upset she actually kind of choked on it and spit it out. I just thought she was choking on it, but soon realized that she was upset that she had eaten Santa's cookie. I think she wanted the cookie, but had second thoughts after she took the bite and was really upset that Santa would be upset with her. She said, "I ate Santa's cookie, he'll be sad." I assured her that he was nice and wouldn't care at all. But she wanted to put a new cookie on the plate. It was so cute.
On Christmas morning when they went downstairs and found their stockings on the stairs Christopher was so excited and said, "He is real!!! He did come!!!" It was so cute. I'm so glad I caught it on tape. We read Luke 2 and opened presents and just had a day full of fun and eating way too much candy, which we are still recovering from. :)
We were up till 2am finishing up the last wrapping. Jeff got quite creative when we were running out of paper. He had to use a bunch of small pieces.
