Christmas #1

Santa visited our house the night of Christmas Eve Eve, so we could open gifts Christmas Eve morning before our week of on & off travel began.  He was pretty good to our kids this year!  Livi quickly asked why Jeff & I had nothing in our stockings.  Last year I filled ours too, this year I was just too busy to get to it.  A few days earlier we had gotten new tires for my van, and luckily she was satisfied with the answer that Santa had gotten us new tires & given them to us already since they didn't fit in our stockings. 

Superheros were a big, big hit!

Santa also loaded them up with new LeapPad games & rechargeable AA batteries!

Stockings were stuffed to the brim too!

They got lots of new movies in their stockings, which will hopefully give their mama a chance to catch a quick nap on "no nap" days before heading off to work the night shift starting late-January.

Silly Santa wrapped most of the gifts IN their stockings too, in an attempt to make Christmas morning last more than 0.6 seconds.

Then we moved on to gifts from mom & dad.

Our Big Wheels from Menards went back to the store, as the wheels kept falling off :(  

Really she was excited ;)

Then they spent the rest of the morning playing.
