Our First Christmas

Christmas Day is finally here!  Last night on Christmas Eve, we opened presents from family.  We were so excited to finally see what was in those packages that had been shoved under the tree a couple of weeks ago.  Mommy and Daddy sat and ate dinner first and made us wait so long we thought we wouldn't make it!  Daddy passed out the presents....

Serena:  "Wow!  PRESENTS!"

Scarlett:  "The big one is mine!  Gimme!  Gimme!"

Sadie:  "Oooooo!  Whose is that one?"

Finally, we opened them and we got lots of neat stuff including some toys, clothes, and books. Grandma and Grandpa made us each a wooden dog toy that we can pull around when we get bigger.  Mommy got a huge blanket that can keep all of us warm.


Serena:  "What's this?  CLOTHES?!?!?  Where's the toys???"

Sadie:  "Umm, excuse me....Is that all there is for me?"

Despite all the fun we were having, Mommy told us it was time for bed or Santa Claus wouldn't come to our house.  While visions of previous terror of a big man in a red suit flashed into our minds, Mommy was insistent that he would bring us something good.  She helped us bribe the old man by putting milk and cookies on the table along with a couple of carrots for Rudolph and the other reindeer.  So off we went to bed and we fell fast asleep.

And then.......Christmas morning!  We came downstairs and noticed that the cookies and milk were all gone!  And there were crumbs left on the plate!  Even a few scraps of carrots were still there.  I guess when you have so many houses to cover you can't stop and really enjoy the snacks.  Santa wrote each of us a letter and gave us our most favorite thing in the whole world.  BINKIES!  Winnie the Pooh binkies, to be exact.  Boy oh boy, that man in the red suit isn't so bad after all.  He also gave us a rubber ducky so we have something to play with when we take a bath.  This was our best Christmas EVER!

Scarlett:  "Santa Claus came!  Santa Claus came!"
