Christmas morning

When we got home from Spencer on Christmas Eve, we had to hurry and get all ready for Santa. Braden sprinkled his reindeer food in the yard with Daddy and we put out cookies and milk. Then we had to read the real Christmas story and get to bed so Santa's helpers (uh Mom and Dad) could get all of the presents out. The funny thing is Braden would not go to bed (big surprise). He was too excited and when you tell a kid that Santa is coming well...that means it's going to be a late night. It really reminded me of being a kid again and not wanting to go to sleep. It also made me realize that we made our parents stay up way too late on those nights. Ha!

* When Braden woke up in the morning and saw Santa's cookies gone instead of connecting that "yeah, Santa left presents for me" he started crying and said, "Santa ate all of my cookies and I'm hungry!" It was soooooooo hilarious! Only Braden would cry over that-it cracked me up!!!

Santa came!
