Twas the Night Before Christmas.....

Taylor and Turner were super ready for the big day! We had been reading books about how the jolly old man comes down your chimney and the other ritualistic plans. Of course, Mr. Serious (Turner) was believing none of it. I swear he looked at me like "Lady please. No fat man is coming down that chimney!!!" Mr. Innocent, Taylor, was in awe. He got everything ready with precise detail.


We made and decorated cookies and Tay picked out the plate. He placed the water in the sippy cups and left carrots for the reindeer. He left Santa there, I guess, as a decoration for the table. Even the reindeer was invited to the party by Turner.

Mama cleaned the house of the toys so Santa could find his way through the trains, trucks, animals, blocks and 1000 other toys that take over our den every day!!! I bet Santa took a double take, thinking he had gone down the wrong chimney!

How did Santa know a Pottery Kitchen would be a hit!!!

New animals, Books about Dora, Diego and Clifford, "uvies" (movies), games and puzzles and a scuba diver!!

Stockings overflowed with all of their favorite things....

Man, Santa left in a hurry! Crumbs on the floor, half eaten carrots, dirt from the chimney and the gas logs everwhere! I guess he liked the water because the sippy cup was empty on the floor. Even the reindeers must have enjoyed a treat because Mommy's All Clad Pan was filled with water on the oriental rug!

More presents under the tree!!! T and T must have been very, very good.

Santa the Slob leaves the house in it's natural look.... yes, Santa, you have the right house!!!
