Time to open presents

Let’s tea Party!

The kids were surprised when Santa came to our house Wednesday evening after dinner. We heard Santa upstairs ho ho’ing before he flew away in his sled! We saw him! Well, the kids didn’t actually see him but I saw him. It’s true.

I was busy passing out gifts so I don’t have any photos to show for it. We set up Ron’s phone and video’d the entire time. I’ll have to get that video air dropped to my phone sometime this week so I can edit and create a condensed version on YouTube. Having Santa come early gave all the kids some extra time to enjoy their new toys and clothes before they went their separate ways earlier today. It was a perfect evening for all of them. 

Last night’s Christmas Eve celebration at Great Grandma’s was with all the family, hence the “second” celebration. All the big people in the family and other friends were there too.

All the little ones are gone now and the house is quiet.
