Sunday the 18th was the annual trek around Hatboro for Santa with the fire company. We swore we heard the sirens - the other kids heard the sirens - and the kids all waited outside for more than an hour just waiting and waiting and waiting...and finally he came!
My parents rolled into town on the 22nd so the girls got to go swimming at their hotel on the afternoon of the 23rd which thrilled them to no end.
I decided to do Christmas dinner on the 24th again this year because it is just so much easier the next day. I can relax and make a leisurely brunch and the kids can play with all their new stuff if they choose and we have yummy leftovers we can munch on all day.
After dinner the girls got in their new Christmas jammies and got cookies and milk ready for Santa. Rowan heard on the radio that Rudolph was getting all the carrots instead of sharing with the other reindeer so she decided to mark them all so everyone would share and get their own carrot.
Daddy got his phone out then and he and girls pulled up the Norad Santa tracker so they could see where in the world Santa was and when he was getting ready to cross the ocean the girls decided that would be a good time to get to bed so would be sound asleep like good girls when he got to our house.
While they slept - Santa did indeed come to our house.
Lily was beyond thrilled with her new bike.
Rowan could not wait to bake something with her new oven from Mom Mom and Pop Pop.
Both girls loved the karaoke machine Santa brought them - Jazz was not so sure - there was an awful lot of singing and microphone playing.
Parker got his new beloved Kindle Fire and promptly lost it to the girls. Guess they will have to ask for one next year!
My parents headed back home on the morning of the 26th and we slowly tried to get our house back in order and all the fun new stuff put away.
Parker took the girls up to Joe and Diane's for a couple of days this week while we work. Parker and I took advantage and went to the movies two nights in a row! The girls come back today and tomorrow we cash in their Christmas present from us and go to see Disney Princesses on Ice!!
