Here comes Santa Claus...

ME woke up around 6ish Christmas morning. Here's our conversation before we opened presents:

Us: "Did Santa come?"
ME: "No!"
Us: "Do you want to see what Santa brought you?"
ME: "No!"
Us: "Do you want to open presents?"
ME: "No!"

But once she saw walked into the living room and saw all of the presents, she completely changed her mind about Christmas!

Notice she already had her Dora backpack on and then wore it for the rest of the morning.

It's amazing how she already knew what to do with all of her toys!

Benjamin enjoyed getting to open his presents, too. I think ME got a kick out watching him, too.

After ME realized that Santa Claus really came and what happens when he comes, she went to the tree for several days later to go find more presents. And everytime she heard squirrels or anything on the roof, she would tell us "I hear reindeer" or "I hear Tanta Taus." Sadly, we had to tell her that Santa and his reindeer are sleeping.

Ahhh...the joys of watching something through your child's eyes! Oh how next Christmas and the years to follow are going to be so much fun!!! And I can't wait for them to truly understand the meaning of Christmas. For now, it just consists of ME loving her Little People Baby Jesus like a baby, naming everyone in the nativity scene, lining them all up in a straight line, and making her Sesame Street toys watch the Christmas tree.

Hopefully, we'll be able to teach them a little more about the love of our Lord and His amazing story by next year!
