Santa 2008

Christmas was wonderful. Todd took Christmas Eve off at the last minute, so we packed that day and headed up to Dallas that evening.

Santa made an appearance in my mom's house a little early, and then he ended up in her backyard to great all the grandkids. It is so amazing to see the kids wonder in their eyes as they speak to him to tell him what they are wanting and to chat with him a bit. We gave him a Christmas gift too, by singing Jingle Bells to him as he ran off to deliver presents to all the SLEEPING children...it was 11:00 and it seemed to be quite early to the children. The adults however felt a little differently.

That morning, things got really moving at about 8 am. Todd was setting the video camera up on the tripod when he dropped it. Smash...right on the tile. He did video it, but I am sure it didn't come out too good because the light is gone. We will have to buy a new one soon, because I love having a video camera.

Santa's gifts were sitting in front of the tree. He brought Kaytlynn the same snow globe that he brought her last year that she broke. He brought her 3 Thomas Kinkade angel ornament (where each angel has a small snow globe in the palm of her hands. She also received make-up, nail polish, and other girlie stuff.

Delaney received a princess dress, tiara, wand, make up, 4 dolls from Barbie and The Christmas Carol, and a sparkly hooded cape that she NEVER took off, after she got it on.

They also received ANOTHER barbie house.

I say it often, but this is such an amazing, magical age and I am so glad a feel so privileged to witness it.
