In years past Santa has actually climbed out of our chimney into our living room. This year Miss E didn’t think Santa would be traveling as easily on his sleigh with no snow. Santa just rang in the doorbell and stopped by for a visit after our church service on Christmas Eve. He was about to embark on a very busy night. The girls were a little nervous by Santa’s presence in the living room but warmed up as he pulled out a few gifts from his bag.
Santa delivered the kids a couple toys, a movie series for the teenager along with a bag of kitten food and said they will be getting kittens in the spring. The next morning as Grandpa Eldon walked by Miss E and Nana at our house, Miss E said “Grandpa walks like Santa!” Nana said, “Oh you think so?” Miss E again confirmed, “Yes! Grandpa walks like Santa.”
They don’t look like a like thankfully. They just walk a like. Whew.
In case you doubt 14 year olds can experience the same excitement and joy on Christmas as young children, we witnessed they can. My parents surprised Hunter with an iPad.
Aww lovely family Christmas 🙂 hope your new yr’s weekend is as great!
