We had a great Christmas vacation in North Carolina. On Christmas Eve we went to church and back to the Lee's for some yummy food and visiting. Then we spent the night at "Grandma's House" (Mike's mom). We didn't get to sleep until after midnight, including Sammy. He slept with Grandma in her bed and was entirely too excited about the slumber party and the many promises of Santa's visit. At promptly 7am Sammy and Grandma came out to look for Santa. He thought he would still be hangin' around. Cathi said she thinks Sammy must have just been lying there waiting for 7:00, because at 7 on the dot he whispered "Gramma lets get up the 7 is here." We waited for Uncle Dave and Aunt Marisa and started opening our gifts. So much fun. Christmas is a brand new experience when I see it through the eyes of my kids. Sammy had a blast and was so fun to watch. Thea had fun too, but doesn't quite grasp the concept yet. Jenny and Mike made us an amazing breakfast. And the coffee pot was working overtime. Presents and fun were in full supply but sleep was fleeting.
Later it was off to the Payne's for lunch aaaaaaand...... a special visitor in a red suit. So exciting! Thanks Uncle Don for being Santa's helper... again. The kids got their picture taken and Santa got a special surprise when baby Olivia lost her lunch all over his lap. Pretty funny.
We had a great time and great memories were made.
