Our little family of four started out the day w/homemade (sort of) Cinnamon Rolls for us and special waffles for Andy. I think they both were a hit. Andy ate 3/4 of a Belgian waffle plus 1 1/2 bananas! Abby ate TWO cinnamon rolls! Apparently, they didn't get enough dinner the night before? Either that or they were gearing up for the fun, fun day.
That a.m. we watched Christmas Cartoons, made rolls and goodies for the next day, and Cookies for Santa. After all, if we made good ones, he would come! And he did!!!
SANTA CAME during quiet/nap time this year. It was SO exciting! First thing Abby asked me when she got up was if he ate his cookies. Yes, yes he did. Never fear. I have never known Santa to turn down a good cookie!
Then, it was off to the Living Room to see what he brought:
Abby was GREAT fun to watch this year. She was thoroughly impressed w/everything she got. She was excited, and thankful, and so cute to watch - the smile on her face was heart melting... It didn't matter if it was underwear or a new castle, she was excited to receive it...
Um, and she dressed herself that day!
Santa was really smart and didn't wrap Andy's toys this year. He was just given his Santa Bag full of goodies and told to go to town. This was a good thing or we would have been there most of the evening, because he mostly wanted to watch Abby and play. But, he eventually got around to checking things out.
My Favorite Moments of watching Andy:
- Opening his baby doll that Abby got him. He was so excited he could barely wait for Trav to get it open and Abby was so proud that he was so excited.
- When he got into his stocking. He was so "kid like" digging into it. It was great!
After all the Santa excitement and some yummy dinner, we got all prettied up and headed off to Church. We got there at about 8:30pm so we could listen to the music (beautiful) and check out the Nativity (so precious). The kids were great during Mass, but I think they always are!
Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Night!
