We ordered pizza and ate while we tracked Santa on the NORAD website
B&B sprinkled their reindeer food on our back lawn
Open one gift, read the Christmas Story, and don't forget to leave cookies & milk for Santa Clause and a few carrots for his reindeer!
The FIRST gift of Christmas....
...PJs, of course!!!
These minuscule carrots are actually from our garden! And though they obviously were not quite ready to be picked, the reindeer didn't seem to mind. ;)
~*~*~*CHRISTMAS Day*~*~*~
Santa's been here!!!!!!
Brooklyn slept in the boys' room on an air mattress that night. I remember doing the same with my siblings and we could hardly contain our excitement as we tried to stay up long enough to hear the bells on Santa's sleigh or the sound of hooves on the rooftop. Matt's family had this tradition where his Dad would set some sort of "trap" for the kids so he could hear if they tried to sneak out before it was time to get up Christmas morning. So this year, Matt set up our very first trap for the kids! It was very simple, to break them in easily. ;) Matt hung a blanket in the doorway with jingle bells on it and they had to come through the blanket without making the bells ring.
Here they are, ready to come down the stairs to see what Santa brought!!

It was a very merry Wii-Christmas for us!!!Santa must've known we were itching for some new games to play!! 
We were able to keep it simple this year and everyone was happy with their loot! :)
On our last day of visits from the Advent Fairy, she left us this note: Merry Christmas!! Enjoy the day surrounded with those you love the most. ♥
And thus we began our whirlwind of visiting family on Christmas dat!!! Off to my parents, Matt's parents, quick stop by Gma & Gpa LeBaron, back to my parents for a catnap for Prest (poor kid, being dragged around all day) then on to my Uncle David & Aunt Candy's house for Christmas dinner. It was a looooong day, for sure!
