Toys were spread out from Santa's arrival less then 24 hours old. 3 kiddos refreshed from Long naps after Christmas day..ready for home made beignet's, eggs and (fake) bacon..Christmas Eve was the beginning, where it all truly began... of new and old traditions..from a yummy sushi dinner, to new Pj's for all, to leaving Santa plenty and cookies and cold cold milk. The reindeer were feed carrots on top of the rooftop, as only as Cedar would remark "reindeer's don't land on driveways, only rooftops of course" The kiddos left stockings and read 'twas the night before Christmas' before heading off to bed. I do believe this was the first night that Cedar exclaimed " I cant fall asleep fast enough" And I in my pj's and Pa in his too had begun to settle in with whisky and coke! When at sometime in sleep world Santa did come, he dropped of a Fairy House and stocking stuffers for all..and a cute pink piggy bank for the littlest of all. he snuck in those sweet cookies and off he did go...for we woke a few time to hear little people between 3-6 and finally got up to see if he came...I heard Cedar exclaim" I wasn't always good ....and he still came..bring just what I wanted!!!" Orien wandered where Santa had gone..a bit disappointed eh wouldn't be joining in all the present fun!! A few hours later..the last wrap had been torn..the last ribbon chewed on by Truth..and kiddos played all day with airports, cranes, legos and Fairy houses and people...and Truth quite happy with all her little organic dolls to suck on..we attempted to nap..but bikes needed riding, books needed reading, and energy was just too high..so we dashed out the door where Marys Lake Lodge cooked us wonderful meals of Grilled Ahi Tuna sandwiches, pasta and sundaes for good little boys! ahhhhh a bit more biking riding and off to bed for all! Merry Christmas to all and to all a great new year!!!!!
