Christmas Eve Fun

Our family had a little Christmas Eve celebration. It was so much fun! A few friends came over with their families. My sister, Molly and her son, Wyatt also came. All the kids ran around and played. It was a pajama party for the kiddies. I know Eliza and Sadie had so much fun playing with their friends and staying up WAY past their bedtimes. (They usually go to bed at 7:30 but tonight, not until 10:30). Even though they were tired, they weren't cranky at all. They must have been full of Christmas cheer. They did go right to bed with no problems tonight.

Santa stopped by the party. Santa is very busy tonight but he loves parties so he dropped by. He rang the doorbell and all the kids came running. Santa said, "Ho Ho Ho. Merry Christmas." Eliza exclaims, "Santa!.....pause.....(giggles)..DADDY!" Darn! We hoped we could fool her. She thought it was so funny that Daddy dressed up like Santa. (Okay, so really Santa was too busy tonight to stop by our party but a great looking replacement helped out). After the party, Eliza says to David, "Daddy, you were silly dressed like Santa. I saw your eyes."

Sadie on the other hand, really thought she met Santa. She was cautious at first to go sit on his lap. Once she got on though, she talked and talked to him. She told him about her family and that she'd been good this year. She said she wanted toys for Christmas.

Having a house full of happy kids on Christmas Eve is the best!

Thanks. And have a productive day after Christmas - go to the stores and have fun [it is good for the US economy].
