Merry Christmas Eve... Santa Came to Town

Last night we were able to enjoy a visit from Santa. Each year on Christmas Eve Santa usually pays a visit to Quincy to confirm that he's good before bringing the rest of his presents later while he's asleep.

This year Quincy was pretty smart and honed in on that fact that Santa has a strange resemblance to Grandpa Loren. He in fact told us: "I think Santa is Grandpa Loren." Geez, we thought it'd be a few more years before he'd figure that out... I mean, the kid is ONLY 3! We said, "Santa has a white long beard and he's fat! Santa can't be Grandpa Loren." Quincy responded with, but they're like the same size (meaning height.)" We said... "You're nuts." And left it at that. I think next year Santa might need to be a little more clever... :)


After Quincy and Braxton were able to sit on Santa's lap... he took off to visit other little girls and boys. Before he left he did bring 1 present for Braxton and Quincy to open early. Quincy got 'I Do Not Like Green Eggs and Ham' and Braxton got an animal book. The boys also were able to open a gift from mom and dad (new jammies).

Getting right up in the action.

B playing around... look at all those teeth.

Braxton looking oh so sweet... Don't mind all the drool. He's working on some molars.

Me... working on some fudge for Christmas Day.

Braxton was not liking a picture with Nanny and Pappy.... every time we wanted him to smile for the camera he would burst into tears like this.

Grammie and Me.

At first Quincy was a little nervous about Santa, but he WAS excited that Santa brought him one gift to open early.

Quincy LOVES to read!

I love this picture of Braxton with Santa. He was drinking his night time bottle before Santa arrived and he kept periodically looking up at him like, "Man, this stuff if strong tonight... I must be hallucinating... there's some guy in a goofy suit and some long white beard. Crazy!"

Even in this one... he's looking at Quincy like, "Are you seeing this??"

The best shot we could manage with that bottle in the way.

B opening his new book from Santa.

Quincy giving Santa a hug goodbye.

Quincy loving all his 'stars'. :)

This picture makes me laugh because Braxton's face reads exactly how he felt... tired and unimpressed.

Everyone loves new jammies!

Hope all your Christmas Eve's were delightfully fun like ours!
