Merry "fake" Christmas

With our plans to travel to Charlotte this year we really wanted to have Christmas at home for the kids before we left. We included in our letter to Santa this year that we would be out of town so he would know that if he had a chance he could stop by our house a little early. Chase insisted on leaving chocolate milk and cookies out for Santa(cause chocolate is his favorite according to chase). When the kids got up the next morning they were ready to see if Santa was able to stop by our house.






The cookies and milk were gone, there were presents under the tree and the kids were super excited. Chase quickly noticed a note left in the tree attached to a long string...






He followed the string all thought the house....

Nothing like a little roller coaster action to start your morning. After finding the big gifts we headed back upstairs for some more fun. The kids were so excited about every little thing, including the toothpaste in their stockings, it was so fun to watch them.

The aftermath....



Not too bad. After presents we enjoyed a yummy french toast casserole that Kevin prepared for us the night before (one of the items in our packed fridge from the previous post). It was a fun morning and the kids enjoyed playing with their toys the rest of the day. Chase suggested that we take pictures for Santa so we could send him a thank you card, such a sweet suggestion! More to come of our crazy "Christmas" day.
