Whew! We've had a wonderful yet busy week with parties at Riley's preschool and Dawson's school. After Dawson's party today, we had a visit from Santa! He visited the kids at Pat's daycare and then she sent him to our house. I gathered my boys and the other kids that I keep after school and told them that I had a big surprise coming for them. I wish you could have seen their faces when Santa stepped into our house! I was excited for them! Santa sat on the couch and each one had a turn sitting on his lap. Santa handed out candy and was on his way in his limo. Yes, his limo. He explained that the reindeer are resting up for Christmas Eve so he had to find a different way to get around until then. Riley had told everybody that Santa came to his house in a "limbo"! They LOVED it and I loved it because now we don't have to go the mall and wait in line all day to see Santa.
Tonight we started a new tradition. The boys have some small gifts under the tree in their room and they are allowed to open one each night until Christmas. My mom used to do this with me when I was little so I decided to start it with my boys. They have been tortured for a couple of weeks looking at those presents with their names on them. When I told them that they could finally open one tonight, they just about broke their necks running up the stairs! They each got an AXE gift set with body spray, deo, shampoo, shower gel, etc. Yes, I know that my kids are only 4 and 6 but they love this stuff. They want to be grown so bad! One day they'll wish they could be kids again but for now, they think they are well on their way to manhood. They were so excited to get this stuff but we may be paying the price for quite a while - you can smell them a mile away!
