No family Christmas is quite complete without a rundown of the gifts, the love and the funnies that happen when Santa Clause comes to town.

Our youngest daughter put out the required cookies, milk and a sweet letter for Santa.

WOW, look!  Santa came!

Been waiting for a LONG time for this book!

Just what he wanted!

I coulda SWORE this was a turtle – but, alas, it is a frog pet pillow.  So, daughter #2 figured if she just covered its head, no one would know!

She asked for an easel – why not buy her the smallest one (with canvases) I could find?!

SWEET!  On top of Santa, the Tooth Fairy Came and left money for TWO teeth!

HILARIOUS!  Only box I could find for the son-man was a GIRLY box.  He was NOT amused (despite the smile).

ummmm, she got a bag of balls.  And she announced it.  And then she realized what she said.  🙂

Our kids love puzzles, think she’s trying to figure out, mathematically, how long it will take to put a 500 piece puzzle together.

All in all, a great time was had – and another Christmas has come and gone and the kids totally enjoyed their day together.
