nning around we forgot to make cookies for Santa. Don't worry though because we found out Santa LOVES homemade fudge...which just happened to be in the fridge :)So Christmas eve the kids left out fudge and milk for Santa, double checked the gift count and off to bed.....2 hours later they were still awake! I guess I forgot how exciting Christmas is for little ones. They finally drifted off to dream land....and sometime in the middle of the night Santa came! Derrick came running in at 7am "Wake up wake up guys it's Christmas!!!" We played the "we don't wanna get up game" for a few minutes until Derrick about had a heart attack and sent them to the tree.
The first thing they checked was that Santa ate the fudge and even left a thank you note...in red ink of course! Then for the next few minutes the kids opened stockings and gifts. It was nice this year....both kids knew how to rip open the wrapping and dig in, it was so much
fun watching them. Santa was very good to them.....mostly because Santa shops on clearance at the end of toy seasons ;) Derrick loved all his boy toys and Danae I thought was going to have a heart attack when she opened her present with a new baby in it. Her hands were shaking & everything, it was so cute!We spent the day playing with toys, and trying to get my homemade bread to rise....needless to say the toys did better than the bread. We had a late Christmas dinner and Christmas was over. The kids weren't to
o bad about it being over until they realized they weren't going to get presents everyday. One interesting this that happened this Christmas is that Derrick managed to memorize Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer after hearing it just a few times and Danae made up her own song LOLOther than Christmas Leroy has been busy trying to get the apartments here rented and not doing to bad. The owner is happy and has even agreed to let us put together an Easter get together here for everyone and he'll pay for it! So totally awesome, I love planning for stuff!!!
And speaking of planning, I went through my Birthday book & realized I have 34 cards to make this year! So awesome again!
