Santa's coming!!

You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I'm tellin' you why----Santa Claus is coming to town!!

Let me tell you, this year we milked it for all it was worth with our Terrific Toddler Tantrums!!  That little reminder that Santa's watching, prevented and minimized the amount of tears this year.  Also, watching Dora and talking about Swipper being on the "Naughty List"  --it did wonders!! 

The traditions and excitement of Christmas after having your own kids, is so magical!!  We had our Family Christmas morning a day early this year on December 24.  At this age, we could still get away with it when it works in our schedule.  Reagan was so into it!  The night before, we put out milk and cookies, and a carrot for the reindeer.  The next morning she came to wake us very early, and didn't even go down to look under the tree herself.  We all went down together to find a letter from Santa and her stocking and a really tall gift that had Reagan's name on it.

Sampling Santa's cookies

MMMMMM!!!

Better try the milk too!!



Christmas morning we didn't get any pics of the opening of presents, I guess we were just enjoying and living the moment, but instead got one of the Santa present after it was opened-a dollhouse!!
