Santa

We started a new tradition this year.  Mr. Fixit and I decided to have Christmas at our house, on Christmas Eve -- just us and the boys.  It was special!  We attended Mass at 4:00 p.m., followed by a candlelit supper (well, for 5 minutes anyway).  "K" demanded that we "turn the lights on, because we can't see!!"  So, I obliged.

Then after the dishes were done, and diapers changed -- I hung out with the boys in "K's" room to sing some songs.  The intention was Christmas songs, but a request was made for the "ABC" song.  Again, I obliged.  Mr. Fixit tidied up the living room a bit, and set out the Santa gifts.  Then he joined us for a few songs.

Soon, Mr. Fixit exclaimed that he thought he heard Santa.  We ran to the living room, and - sure enough - he had visited.  The boys opened their gifts - two each - and had fun playing the rest of the evening.  It was so much fun to watch their expressions!  "K" especially was trying to figure out how those presents got there!
