On the twenty-fifth day of December...

Ready and waiting to see what Santa left in and by our stockings.

This is what greeted us when we walked into the living room.

Baby A seems thrilled with what Santa brought her, wouldn't you agree?

Baby A in her BIG Santa gift!

Though happy with receiving two out of the three gifts he asked Santa for, Li'l J was a bit disappointed that the Bolt and Chihuahua dogs weren't REAL! Li'l J is still to young to understand that Santa knows too well about the history of our allergies, and was actually doing him a favor by not bringing him two real dogs.

One of Li'l J's favorite gifts--SOFT light swords! (The biggest surprises I received, left by Santa, can be seen in the background just under Li'l J.)

M was very happy to receive two of his three requests from Santa and couldn't wait to play with them, until he opened this from his Aunt A:

The DS and the games that he got with it, have kept him pretty entertained over the last few days!

At M's request, we had a complete Christmas dinner reminiscent of Thanksgiving dinner: turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, rolls, apple pie, and a Marie Calendar's Chocolate Satin pie (for the rest of us).

Though we love our extended families and missed being with them, we did enjoyed spending Christmas at home this year. Thank you to all the G'ma's, G'pa's, Aunts, Uncles, and friends who sent us thoughtful gifts. We look forward to when we will see you all again.
