CHRISTMAS 4.0

In the years to come, I'd like to think we'll look back at these pictures and not remember that we needed to alter our Christmas plans due to A's crazy work schedule.  (Last year, we celebrated as a family and Santa came a few days early - actually, I already forgot the details of the specific day!).  This year, A had to leave the house at 4 AM on Christmas day and came home around 4 PM the same day.  The kids knew that Santa had emailed us and said he'd be stopping by after Daddy came home from work.

So we woke up on Christmas morning without presents.  We stayed in our jammies all day and played with new presents from our prior Christmas celebrations. 

By the time Daddy came home, we were ALL stir crazy, so we left the house for a trip to the park.  The Big Kids left out treats, milk, photos, and $1 for Santa just in case he came while we were away.

and he did!

Merry Christmas!
