Santa comming early this year???

When we realized Anna would not be with us Christmas Eve night we were worried about what Santa would do. Would he even come to G.G. and Pops house? Would he take all her toys to Belton this year? Although we know he had a plan, we did not know what it was. Last year he called Zeke's house at the end of our Bateman/Lynam Christmas party and told Anna to go to bed soon because he was coming that night! She was so excited! He must have forgotten to tell us this year. We decided it was best to be ready just in case he came early....glad we did.

So G.G. baked cookies with the kids and we put cookies and milk out for Santa and carrots out for the reindeer. Anna even added a Swiss cake roll for Santa. I guess she though he would be really hungry. Santa was lucky he got any milk because Sullivan drank most of it before we even put it out. It was so cute to see them doing this together.

Sullivan really thought the cup was neat because when you turn it up to drink out of it it says, "Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas!" We had to bribe him to leave it for Santa!

The kids in front of Pop's new TV he got for Christmas!

Mike came in from Virginia that night and Santa had not come when he got there at 3:00 am. But...when the kids woke up at 8:30 am, he had come!!! So, we very sleepily woke up to two very excited kiddos!!! There is nothing better!!
