Christmas Morning

It was the calm before the storm! The kids woke up to see that Santa made it to our house again this year! They didn't get up until 8:00, probably because they were pretty excited the night before and had trouble falling asleep. They had a busy day on Christmas Eve. They got one present from Mom and Dad, which were Build-A-Bears (Rudolph and Clarice). We went to the mall to have them "stuffed" and of course we had to buy clothes for them too! We checked out a couple of things at the mall and ran into the McKeown's there. From there, we had to get video tape to make sure we were prepared for the next morning activities. We went out to eat at Lone Star after the shopping (which also counted as part of Mommy's Christmas present!). We went to feed Pandy before heading home to bake cookies for Santa. By the time we registered the Build-A-Bears on the computer, got the cookies ready, the reindeer food out, got our baths, exchanged the kids' gifts, and read Twas the Night Before Christmas, it was quite late. The anticipation of the visitor overnight was too much to quickly fall asleep. You can check out some of the pictures of the BIG day here.
