a Merry Christmas forsure

what a day.. i am exhausted at the moment, but some delicious tamales are steaming and I must wait for the goodness to finish steaming..

It started last night as we tried getting the kids to bed early.. they were excited to get ready for santa and I had never seen them brush their teeth so fast. ( believe me it was short lived)
They slept in our room with bells on the door in case we had intruders... or extruders... those trying to exit before the right time.
They couldnt understand why we werent going to bed.. cause we had told them theyd better get to sleep so santa would come. We set our alarms in case we fell asleep, and they eventually went to sleep.
Camden woke up at 5 to use the potty and just wanted to see if Santa had eaten his cookies that we had made for him. I told him we'd have to wait til the sun was up and when Case woke up we would check it out. 7 came along, and they had held out long enough...
What a fun day. They were super excited about all the goodies and gifts. Camden and Case passed out the presents to everyone and we opened them... everyone takes a turn.. it takes a while, but its more fun that way... they jumped into the pile of wrapping paper and boxes for a traditional camera shot.. and we played ALL day long.
Had a wonderful dinner, watched toy story 3 atleast 3 times.. ( thanks Aunt Camie and Uncle Neil) theres lots more to remember and write, but my brain is done for tonight...
Merry Christmas ALL!
