Jack had been talking for a while about staying up to see Santa, and even setting a trap as you would for a leprechaun. Luckily, I convinced him not to do any of those things and the kids slept really well. Until about 5am. We were cruel and made them wait until 7:00 to go downstairs to begin the festivities.
There were lots of wonderful presents Christmas morning, making for a fun morning of opening, and lots of play time afterward.
Our gift to the kids was a trip to San Diego over a long weekend in January. We gave them packages with different clues, and Cat was really excited when she finally knew where we were going... until she found out that she'd have to miss two days of school. (Luckily, she got over it.)
Christmas Fun:
After being in the house literally all day, I forced the kids to get outside for a little while. They weren't happy with me, but Suz helped liven things up with a moving target game, then we played Sardines.
And finally, it was time for a simple yet delicious Christmas dinner, followed up by one of Suz's signature fancy desserts. Mmmm.
Enjoying Christmas Presents the following day:

| Notice Eliza's footwear. |
 |
| Eliza and Jack both got new Pokemon cards for Christmas. Jack also had a lot of fun with the Polar Express train Santa brought him. |
 |
| I love my new record player, and listening to the records I wouldn't let my parents throw away 20(+?) years ago. |
 |
| Jack might have been slightly hypnotized by it. |
