Christmas Day

After reading the letter from Santa,

And discovering that the Reindeer had eaten their salad,

It was all about what was under the tree.

Evidently our kids made it on to Santa's "Nice" list.

Raven was pumped about his keyboard (which is "way better than a recorder").

River was thrilled with his electric guitar,

That "you don't even have to know how to play!!!!!!"

Meadow loved her new dress-up,

And her Project-Runway-For-Little-Girls (so much that she asked me to take a picture of her staring at her creations).

Can you tell that she also got her specially requested "very own red lipstick" (and eyeliner)?

Heaven Tommy

Got the Monkey she asked for...

Which happened to be Secret's favorite gift as well.

The girls spent the morning playing with the Strawberry Shortcake Cafe.

While the boys tried out the Wii.

Secret just wandered around with her new baby-doll,

And enjoyed the chaos of the morning.

Later that day (after we actually got dressed-well, except Heaven, who remained in her jammies all day),

We went and hung out at Grandma and Papa Santa Claus' house.

It was a perfect Christmas day.
