Believing

Wow, we've had a wonderful Christmas this year. The kids are all at great ages for the fun parts of the holiday. Iain was trying to figure out ways to stay awake all night so he could see Santa. Sean was running around the house wondering if Santa was getting close to our house and Sara was asking "Santa is, Santa is?" all night wondering where he was. Before we put them to bed on Christmas Eve we went on the computer to track Santa. We were able to see which parts of the world he had already delivered presents to, and how close he was to us. When we looked he was in Peru. At one point Santa and his reindeer flashed across the screen, we think as he was leaving Peru and heading to his next destination. Iain's mouth fell open and his eyed widened. He couldn't believe he was actually seeing Santa. All I have to say is, Thank You Norad!

Christmas morning was filled with even more fun. The boys opened all their stocking gifts and waited as patiently as could be expected for Sara to wake up, which was an hour and a half!! Then it was joyous chaos! They loved all of their gifts! We've spent the better part of the last two days playing with all of it. Skateboards, baseball cards, dolls, doll accesories, Wii games...there is so much!
