"Twas the night before christmas and all thru the house..."
As a child, each year Brian's Dad would read this favorite childhood story to him and his two brothers. We bought the original version so that Brian could continue this tradition with our children. Kayla fell asleep a bit early on Christmas Eve so when it was time to put out the cookies for Santa and read our story, she was a little fussy but then went RIGHT back to sleep!
On Christmas morning, after Santa Clause came and left... Kayla awoke around 6am. She had been sleeping in until about 8am but that morning she knew something was up and did not want to go back to sleep... so we brought her into our room for a little while and then went out to see what Santa left!
Checkin' out her presents...
I did good this year!
After opening gifts at our house and getting ready, we drove a short 4 blocks to Grandma & Grandpa's house to see if Santa dropped off anything for Kayla??? Grandma made a special brunch so when we got there, we sat down to have some food... then it was naptime for Kayla. Since this is Kevin & Angela's 1st year as newlyweds, they went to the Kessler's to open gifts 1st. Gift opening did not begin until they arrived around 12:30noon time. Kayla decided that this would be her long naptime and slept thru at least til 2pm. When she woke up, she got such a great surprise... SANTA came to her house to visit! (Thanks to Uncle Denny who mysteriously disappeared when Santa came - maybe he is afraid of the big guy???)
