Every Christmas we would wake up early and run to mom and dad's room and we would have to wait. Daddy said the same thing every year, "wait here and let me see if Santa came." He would go and check things out and then he would call for us to come. It was a mad dash to the tree. I wonder if my children will have these same memories when they look back. Seth always goes in and turns on the lights and puts on Christmas music and gets the video camera ready to capture their first expressions. And they are in the hallway saying, "can we come in now?"
The Note From Santa
Laurel, Savannah, and Landon came running into the living room and were so excited to find exactly what they had asked for under the tree. Then....
 |
| Laurel found a note from santa by the fireplace. This was my favorite part of Christmas morning. Aww... the magic of Christmas! The looks on her and Savannah's face was priceless. The note said to find and follow the lights to find a surprise. They were confused at first. We told them to look around and find the lights..... |
 |
| They found the lights and dropped to their knees and started crawling. It's always interesting to see how children respond to excitement. I thought Santa had a brilliant idea with the strand of lights. (He might have had a little help from a certain Lexus commercial! :) |
 |
| Surprise! Santa brought a trampoline! They had no idea and were so excited. And then this magic happened....  |
 |
| This little guy just pointed and jabbered all day. He loved his firetruck and loved the siren even more! |
 |
| Seth's mom came up. We had Christmas lunch with her. This has been the best Christmas! I love seeing and hearing the innocence of my children. Laurel asked me the other day if she was alive when Santa was a baby? I told her that Santa has been alive for a really long time. She said, "wow, I bet he is really old!" "When will he die?" I said, "It's magic Laurel. It's all magic." |
