We arrived at Mimi's house in Pennsylvania on Christmas Eve afternoon, and were very excited about Santa's arrival that night. We watched tracking updates, and sure enough, the jolly old guy was right on schedule:
We attended Christmas Eve church, and as we walked outside after the service, snowflakes were falling. Sometimes, timing is everything. The children posed for pictures with Mimi and Grandpa, and spread their reindeer food in the front yard:

L&L made their cookie plate for Santa, and taste tested "one or two" cookies. Leah also wrote Santa a note, and Daddy read Twas the Night Before Christmas:
Leah's special present from Santa was a Minion pinball machine, while Luke asked for the SuperLoop Speedway (slot car racetrack):
On Christmas morning, these two were READY!

We checked out the gifts that Santa left in our stockings, had breakfast, and opened presents:
There were lots of special gifts this year. Luke was especially excited about his special Harry Potter wand. I love that Christmas is still magical for my children, and pray that it may always be:
Even Miss Winnie mustered the strength to open her presents on Christmas day, and she was lying down in the middle of all the action, not wanting to miss a thing. How precious these memories are to me now:
After a full, fun Christmas day, we all slept well. Merry Christmas!
