LOB and DJB were eagerly awaiting Santa's arrival on Christmas Eve. They were just sure he would show up after dinner. They were even tracking his flight pattern on a website and were updating his status to us quite frequently; Mongolia, Malaysia, Norway, Spain, Ireland (probably not in that order!) So while we were eating dinner I came up with a plan. It went like this: Suddenly Grandpa got sick and the computer broke so the boys couldn't get their updates. So while Grandpa puked and Papa fixed the computer, the rest of us loaded up in the car and drove the neighborhood looking at lights. As we were driving around, we came upon a house just a couple blocks from ours. Santa was standing in the driveway! Total fluke! How perfect! He came up to the car and we told him we'd hope he'd be going to our house soon! Meanwhile, Grammy who was along with us, was texting Santa's helpers to make sure they were setting everything up correctly. We continued to drive around and then LOB said, "You know, how come I didn't see Santa's reindeer on the top of that roof?" I said, "Oh, they must have been on the other side where we couldn't see them." LOB then replied, "It's always something. There is always something that isn't quite right!" Grammy and I started busted up laughing! LOB has just about figured it out! So finally the text came in that we could come back home. The boys were sure that Santa was going to come while we were gone so they raced to the front door. Here's the climax of the story: So as we opened the front door, Santa was just leaving out the back door! Perfect! It went off without a hitch!
LOB also remembered that when Santa came last year, I had snapped a couple pictures of him. Well, I really used the capturethemagic.com website and uploaded my pictures of the loot and added Santa to the pics. This year, GOB snapped the pictures with the real Santa and it's funny how they look almost the same as last year's!
Looks like Toni had a little fun with Santa! Santa brought LOB and DJB electric scooters and DVB a new 3 wheeled scooter. And some other loot too!
So in the eyes of the boys, Christmas was perfect! It was so fun to see their excitement!
Next up: (in a day or 2 or 3!) Our New Family Member! Wait for it, wait for it!
