Christmas Eve (Part 2)

After Jason's family left, Caden walked around the house holding his new magnifying glass (which he said, "just what I wanted" when he opened it) and saying, "It's big!" If only I had a dollar for every time he said that...

Then he became a "garbage collector" as he said with Abby's new turtle toy bin, walking around collecting all of Abby's toys.
Getting ready for Santa...Abby's first look at Santa's plate.
This picture still makes me laugh...notice the bowl of water (for the reindeer) along the left hand side. Abigail and Caden were peeking onto the counter to look at Santa's plate with cookies (he got real cookies this year compared to animal crackers last year) for Santa and carrots for the reindeer. Well, Abby discovered the bowl and quickly grabbed it before we realized it, spilling all its contents onto the floor. This for some reason made Caden burst into tears.
Water all cleaned up, tears wiped dry, and we are prepared for Abby's grabbing hands.
Checking on Santa's key.
Abby all ready for her bedtime meal sporting her Santa pj's.
The stockings are hung!
Thanks again Mrs. Boyer for Abigail's stocking...now we each have a personalize one. I love these stockings!
I sneaked down after Santa came and grabbed a quick picture.

I bet poor Caden thought that since Abby spilled the water, the reindeer wouldn't come; hence, no Santa. The stockings are beautiful. Love the picture of Abby ready for bed. The tree is perfect. Beautiful Christmas pictures.
