'twas the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse!



We are all set for a very merry christmas in the morning! I can not wait to see Kendall and Beckett's faces as they see what Santa has brought them!



I am also so very excited to help sing Happy Birthday to Baby Jesus with Kendall tomorrow. Sometimes, the true meaning and reason behind Christmas gets lost with the jolly old man in the red coat. Singing happy birthday to Jesus is now a family tradition that I hope my kids will never be 'too cool' to do.
I am incredibly blessed for everything and everyone I have in my life. I am so thankful. I hope every one of you who takes the time to read this blog about my family has a very merry Christmas and an even more joyous new year full of love and laughter.
Cheers! And Merry Christmas!

In need of a clothes line, I guess.

Shamu came with gifts tonight - though he could have put them away in a closet or drawers or someplace other than the dining room chandelier! Crazy guy! He came with a letter from Santa which requested the kids wear them on Christmas Eve. Hopefully since Santa has made this request, our opinionated and stubborn 3 year old will happily go along with this...only because santa said, of course!

Direct from Santa

The other night, when Shamu went back up to the North Pole to give Santa the daily report, Santa actually gave Shamu something to bring back to Kendall. Somehow Santa knew that Kendall had not received her Christmas ornament for this year. (family tradition - new ornament every year for everyone.)
So, Santa wrote Kendall a letter and sent that letter and the ornament back to our house with Shamu.
Kendall wasn't quite sure what to think of this early gift from Santa, but she was excited to hang her new ornament on the tree!
