Christmas Eve

After Birthday is done and baths occur it is time for Santa to arrive. We were blessed that he was well prepared and had most everything assembled and wrapped early!!

 The kids both received penny banks for Christmas as they earn pennies for extra chores, good behavior, and Uncle Mark is building their college fund by donating quarters EVERY time he sees them! Matt thought the pigs in the stockings were a little creepy! I suppose they were.....

 The Tree. There is something magical to me about the tree. Santa came early and it was a good time!

 The FHE fish died while the kids and I were in Utah this Summer. So Santa kindly brought new ones. (for the record, they are both dead now, have been for a week. Sigh.)

See the baby doll that looks as though it is drowning? That is what Clara got. The letters Ben is putting on the wall. Those are his Christmas Eve gift.  As he doesn't like to wear pj's and she has plenty of them I decided to go with something they had both been asking for, bath tub toys!
