It looks like a toy store

Well, I plan for months and now it's finally here. As I layed everything out to stuff in the stockings and put in front of the tree. Mark said "it looks like a toy store in here". My response of course was "I don't want them to be disappointed". So here it goes the magic of Christmas morning is only hours away.

It's been a true blessing not to be stressed today and rushing from one place to another. We visited some of our family and had a relaxed lunch. We baked over 5 1/2 dozen cookies and fudge this afternoon for Santa and shared some with our neighbors. We also played Hungry Hippo, which has been a hit with the kids, it's easy to play and doesn't require any batteries. YIPPEE.

Mark miraculously got the kids practically running to bed. He came in from outside saying he could see a red light in the sky and he thought it could Santa. The kids were amazed, Matthew declared it must be Rudolphs nose and they couldn't get in their pajamas fast enough. We barely had time to brush their teeth and read about the true meaning of Christmas. Mark was pretty proud of his discovery and I have to say I was grateful they were asleep by 7:30.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

AND MAY ALL YOUR CHRISTMAS WISHES COME TRUE
