Jolly Old St. Nicholas

Can't believe the holiday season is here!! So exciting....especially cause Little Annabeth is with us this year to celebrate! Watching her eyes light up with every new thing she sees is so amazing. Just like when she got to sit between her siblings under the Christmas tree we just put up to watch a Christmas carton. Of course the kids have to have cookies and hot chocolate! Wouldn't be Christmas without that!!

St. Nicholas Day was just as exciting too! As usual the kids wrote their lists and put them in their shoes outside...all lined up in order with little Peep's shoe right there at the end.

St. Nick didn't disappoint. When we least expected it we got a huge knock on the front door that scared all of us. Ella and I hid under a pillow but not Luke. I had to hold him back from running straight to the door...I want to see him, Mom!!

At the front door was a bag of goodies and Daddy shoe thrown into the front yard...a little joke St. Nick plays every year!!

Again this year, he got the kids their Christmas Pjs and some yummy candy! He even got them hot chocolate thermos to take their hot chocolate with them in the car on cold school mornings...a huge hit!!

Come on Santa! The kids are eagerly waiting!
