Since we headed out to beautiful Colorado to celebrate Christmas with my family, Santa and all of his gifts arrived early so we could celebrate here. I guess he really did enjoy all of those letters and cookies we made for him!
The night before Santa came, we did our tradition of opening one present, which always happens to be pajamas. The kids love getting new pajamas and Chase started requesting the specific kind he wanted way back in September. I think they were all pleased and so excited for all of the festivities to begin.
After we all put on our new p.j.'s we read a few of our favorite Christmas stories and celebrated the birth of Christ. The kids went to bed full of excitement and ready for Santa to come, it was hard for them to stay in bed. 
The next morning the kids woke up and announced for all to hear that Santa had come. It was so fun to watch them open their stockings to see what they got. They compared with each other and started playing with their new toys. They all got exactly what they asked for. Fisher a new light up ball and remote control helicopter, Chase a giant Ninja Turtle and some little Ninja turtle action figures. Sabrina wanted a tent and Santa even brought her a pink My Little Pony that she just loved, and Oliver got lots and lots of trains which is all he ever wants to play with. 
It was such a fun and wonderful early Christmas. The kids spent the day playing with all of their new toys while Wayne went to work and I cleaned up and got us packed and ready for our trip to Colorado. It didn't quite feel like Christmas,being early and all, but the joy of the kids and the happiness they expressed was such a beautiful feeling.
