Christmas

It was chaos...but in a great way :)  The kids slept until 6:15 or so and then Natalie ran downstairs....and promptly ran back to report that Santa had come and there were gifts under the tree and stockings were stuffed and there were presents and he'd eaten her cookies and there were presents and he'd left them a note and there were even presents in Mommy & Daddy's stockings.  Was a little excited :)

We headed downstairs and let the good times roll.  I got few pictures of the gift opening because the kids don't read and things had to be negotiated.  Patrick opened 2 presents and the 2nd one contained trucks and that was all she wrote for him.  He sat down and didn't open another present.  So, Natalie took one for the team and generously offered to help with his gifts too ;)  She was very efficient and all presents were opened by 6:40.  Yes, 6:40.
