Pretty exciting times around our house these past couple of days! All three girls have been so wound up and excited that getting to sleep the last few nights has been an issue. On Christmas Eve we had Christmas dinner with my parents, my brothers, and their wives and families. The kids all got to open some Christmas gifts after dinner, so that took a bit of the edge off. When we got back home last night, there was still an awful lot of excitement over the visit from the big man in red. Hailey was convinced that the lights she saw in the sky on our way homes were those of the sleigh and reindeer. I checked out the bearing and it was definitely heading in the right direction to be coming from the North Pole. Before heading to bed and trying to unwind the girls put these treats out on our wood stove for Santa. Eight carrots [one for each reindeer], a glass of chocolate milk, a cookie, green gum drops [because Santa told the girls he likes them] and a note to let Santa know the way to the washroom. Sometime shortly after the girls fell asleep Santa arrived and left a big pile of loot under the tree. I was quite surprised that the girls managed to sleep in until around 9:00AM. Then we tore into all the presents. Later today we will have a second Christmas dinner with my wife's side of the family.
