An Early Visit from Santa

Since we were headed to Oklahoma for Christmas this year, Santa made an early visit to our house. This was the first year where Will really got it, and boy was he excited!

Groggily checking out the milk, cookies & carrots

Santa filled the kids' stockings with mini oreos and assorted rubber duckies. Once Cate pulled out her first bag of cookies she was on a mission to eat them!

Will was excited to find a duckie with the letter "W" on it

Next came presents. Will and Cate's bigger gift was a trampoline from Santa. Will also got a small set of Matchbox cars (also from Santa since he surprised us and randomly told Santa that's what he wanted), Lego Duplos (from us), and the Finding Nemo DVD along with play figurines (from Cate). Cate received the Little People Disney Princess Castle (from us) and a nap mat for her new school (from Will).

After enjoying the donuts Santa left on the kitchen table, Billy headed on to work and the kids spent the day playing with their new toys before packing up to head north.
