Phew!! We made it through Christmas! We had a total of four, yep FOUR Christmas celebrations. And in all honesty, they were all amazing. I'm not sure what planets were in alignment but we had a fantastic time with everyone.
Christmas morning was fantastic. The kids woke up at a fairly reasonable hour (6:30 - not too bad) and were soooooo..... excited to check everything out downstairs. They couldn't believe that Santa actually made it to our house! All the presents were a hit (I think I finally nailed it this year - I managed to figure out what each of them really wanted) and they were busy running from one new thing to the next. The trampoline from Santa was a HUGE hit, although Quinn didn't believe that Santa hid it in the shed.
Soo...... out Aidan and Quinn went (in the pouring rain) to see if Santa hit the trampoline in the shed. The whole way out Quinn was saying "I don't think it's there, I don't think he really did it." Meanwhile Aidan was vehemently disagreeing saying: "Quinn, it's GOT to be there. I know Santa put it there - he said it in the note!!" Well lo and behold they opened the shed door and there were the trampoline boxes. Quinn immediately started yelling - "I KNEW IT!! Santa hid the trampoline in the shed!!!" It was beyond adorable.
After they got inside, Aidan started telling Quinn how he snuck downstairs at midnight and how he saw Santa putting the presents under the tree. Then Quinn asked him if he saw Santa coming down the chimney. Aidan's response? "Well NO Quinn. I got downstairs AFTER Santa came down the chimney!!" Well of course he did.....
There are far too many pictures to try to post here, so I created a slideshow which has pics from each of the four celebrations. We are definitely a very lucky bunch!!!
