Christmas Morning

Christmas morning started pretty early for us, but we expected that.
Jackie came into our room at 5:10am and said:
"I did not hear Santa."
After we convinced her to climb into bed with us, we told her she had to be sleeping for Santa to come.
So she tried to fall back asleep.
So did we.

But 6:00am - we all got up.
She must have been sleeping, cause Santa came,
he ate his cookies, drank his chocolate milk
and even took Comet his carrot.



Anderson got a snow shovel from Jacqueline - she already has one so now there will be no fighting.



Santa brought Anderson his first radio controlled car.
This one is designed for little kids since it only has 2 buttons, forwards and backwards.
We had lots of laughs as Anderson tried to figure it all out.
Pressing the button at the same time he is trying to pick it up, but of course the car is going away from him.


The kids got Zhu Zhu pets in their stockings, Brutis was not sure what to make of these little "hamsters" running around.


Oh and Brutis got his fair share of stuff from Santa too.
Toys and treats. 
This picture is taken about 5 minutes after he opened this gift (yes, he can open all his own gifts).
Love the stuffing everywhere.


Jacqueline got a Leapster from Santa and a game to go with it.
She LOVES it!


As I went through our pictures I realized how poor a job we did at taking pictures, part of the problem is Adam and I actually wanted to partake in the Christmas fun and not be taking pictures the whole time, and we also were videotaping some of the time.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve in our house this year was a lot of fun.
We started the afternoon out with making some cookies for Santa.

At dinner Jackie was asking when we can hang the stockings.
We told her when you are in your pajamas, well 5:30 - both kids are in their pajamas.

So, stockings are hung with care...


Jackie thought Santa would like chocolate milk.
So, chocolate milk and cookies for Santa.
A carrot for Comet (she has been watching a lot of Santa Clause 2 where Comet plays a bigger role than Rudolf).


What a goof-ball!  Can you tell she was super excited.


Thankfully she went to sleep quickly and Santa was able to put us onto the early shift.


The stockings had to be laid out in front of the tree for fear of them being too heavy for my stocking hangers and falling.
