Santa Arrived

Santa arrived at our house a couple of days early this year ... He knew we wouldn't be at our house Christmas morning .... we set out the cookies & milk for Santa and the carrots for the reindeer.  The tree was ready ... and we "settled in for a long winters nap".  ...Originally Caden wanted to leave corn dogs for Santa, but then realized they would be cold when Santa got here, so he changed his mind.  (Silly Kid)

Caden actually slept till 6:45 before coming in to wake us up.  Caden totally gets the Santa concept this year ... he couldn't rip into that stocking fast enough.
 
 YES! One spoiled boy ~ and if you didn't figure it out, it was all about the Lego's and Cars 2 this year :o)
Elf left Caden the cute green photo album with the snowmen.  There was a note attached from Elf along with a picture of Elf each day he was at our house. Love that Elf!  When I asked Caden if he was going to miss Elf he said, "No Mom, it will be okay. Don't be sad, he will come back next year". Love it!
 
The awesome thing about Lego's is you Never Outgrow Them ... even at 30 something you still think they rock ~ at least Dan does :o)
Needless to say, Caden loved all of his presents. He thanked us repeatedly and at bedtime told me he wished Santa could come everyday.

Hoping you had a Merry Christmas ... up next our Holiday travel ~

Dan Trisha and Caden
We loved seeing you Christmas eve.
What a nice tradition we have.
It will be really sad when Caden and Caroline get older unless someone provides another little one or two.
We are lucky to have such a nice caring family.
Happy New Year!
Love
Uncle Tony and
Aunt Jill

Awesome pictures! Don't you just love how magical Christmas is through their eyes? Caden looks so excited! You are right, Legos are the best! It's one of the things that I don't mind having a lot of, because it will be a long time before they are outgrown! Seamus will be thrilled to have a Lego buddy in Dallas. He received the Hogwarts castle for Christmas and literally did not play with another thing until it was all put together! So glad you all had a wonderful Christmas morning and I hope Santa was good to you too, Trish!
