We had an early Christmas morning only b/c the fire alarm kept beeping, J & I tried to figure out what was causing it but couldn't. So of course the kids heard us and they got up (5:45), and started looking for their stockings (which J hid). We overheard Elise tell Madison "We should just put a nail up on the fireplace like everyone else so they don't get lost". Once they found them they were thrilled, Elise exclaimed "I just LOVE Santa". Then it was back to bed for everyone, sleeping in till 9. Here are some pics. of the day (everyone is sleeping now).
Thank You all for your many gifts that helped make this Christmas so special.
