In through the front door came -

good old SAINT NICK-

Talking with the children. Asking them if they have been naughty or nice at home, school and church.

Getting a candy cane out of the magic bag.

Trevor trying get Morgan to get her own candy cane.

This is as close to Santa Morgan would get.

The whole gang and Santa.

As Santa was talking with the children Zach whispered in his ear, " I love you." Later he got his drum ornament he had made at school to show him, Katie did too. Santa said a drum for the little drummer boy. Zach, " No, for Jesus. He plays it like.. and then noises as if some one was playing the drum as he patted it." I got tears in my eyes from laughter on that one. When Santa was about to go he was telling he children to go to sleep and not to pretend because he could tell the difference. Zach, as fast as lighting, laid on the floor and said, " I sleep like this" with a snoring sound. When he got up he said," but with out the snoring." He kept us going. Zach is such a little crack up.

After Santa had left and we were heading to bed Katie said, " Santa looked like Kevin." She said a few more things about the night to Trevor and then said, "you know, like Kevin Millward." She is figuring things out yet still believes.

Thanks Santa for the visit and we would love one again next year. That is if you have time on Christmas Eve your busiest night of the year.
