Such a big MIRACLE in such a little child

I forgot to blog about this in my last post. One of the last things the kids did before they went to bed was make Santa a plate. Which consisted of eggnog, pumpkin pie, and carrots for the reindeer of course. They also wrote Santa a note and left paper for Santa to write back with. The kids didn't wake us up too early on Christmas. As a matter of fact I think we all stumbled out of bed around the same time. We got up at 7. But before we could go downstairs and see what the big man had brought the kids had to get their pictures taken and Tyler and Ella had to read the note that Santa had written back. Tyler's note to Santa went something like this. Dear Santa, Thank you for all of the presents you brought. How do you get to all of the houses in one night. How bright is Rudolph's nose? Thanks Tyler. Santa wrote back. Tyler, You have been such a good boy this year. I use the space time continuum to get to all of the houses. Rudolph's nose is more auburn really. It has an auto dim feature. Santa.Ella wrote, Santa, I love you. You are nice. You hold my heart. Santa wrote: Ella you have been such a nice girl this year. Thanks for the treats and the carrots for the reindeer. Santa.The kids then got their traditional Christmas morning picture.Then they raced downstairs to see what Santa had brought them.This is Natalie's chair. Santa brought her... Mad Gab, a saxophone decal for her wall, a 25.00 gift certificate for Old Navy, a flat iron and some stocking stuffers. Mom and Dad got her... 2 new shirts and a saxophone (which she hasn't received yet because it is in with our shipped items). She also got $25 from Pam and David. Nichole made her a headboard, Tyler made her an ornament and my parents got her some pajama's (which too is with our other things)Tyler's Chair. He got... The sonic colors wii game, 2 movies (The sorcerer's apprentice and Diary of a wimpy kid) with a huge bag of starbursts, and some spy gear. Which is super cool because it is a remote control car that you can record things with. You can also see what you are recording on the remote. He also got stocking stuffers. From mom and dad he got a BB gun, a new shirt, and a new jacket. He got Brownies from Natalie (which the dog ate an hour later), and a notebook from Ella. He got Snow boots from Pam and David and Pajama's from my mom and dad (both of which are with our other things)This is Ella's chair. Santa brought her... A razor scooter, a pillow pet and zhu zhu pet airplane and airport. As well as stocking stuffers. From Nate and I she got. A new dress and jacket, and a video recording Barbie. It is pretty cool because it records the video and you can watch it right there on the barbie or download it to your computer. She got snow boots from Pam and David and Pajamas from my dad and mom (both of which will be here on Monday) She also got a necklace making kit from Tyler.Nichole's Chair. From Santa she got... a banana chair, the game curses, and a 50 dollar gift certificate to Old Navy. She also got a blow dryer and some stocking stuffers. From Pam and David she got $25. From Nate and I she got a new shirt and a new sweater. She also got a cool box for her room (with our other stuff of course) and from my parents she got Pajamas (with our other things). She also got a box of popcorn and chocolate covered popcorn from Ella and a thing of hot chocolate from Tyler.Ella just loved her pillow pet and named it spotty.This is the cool headboard that Nichole made for Natalie.Nate got a Kindle for Christmas as well as a leather cover for it and a 40 dollar gift certificate to amazon to buy books for it. Tyler got him hot chocolate. His parents got him $75.00. His Grandparents got him a picture of Christ to hang up in the house. He also got stocking stuffers.I got a whole bunch of DVD's, The 6th vampire academy book, cookie sheets, $30.00 gift certificate to the movies and stocking stuffers from Nate.
