Meeting Santa Claus!!

Ray has done a great job of explaining to the boys the story of St. Nick, who brought toys to children to celebrate Jesus' birthday.  The boys are ALL excited about Santa coming and we often talk about the timeline of it all: the cookies on the end table, everyone asleep, Santa through the fireplace, the toys in the stockings. .  . it's pretty cute.  Today, my sweet mom, let us come to an event she organizes for Montgomery County employees where they have breakfast with Santa!  They boys had a BLAST getting to meet Santa, eating pancakes, playing with the toys in the gift Santa gave and playing with all the decorations!  CUTENESS.

The only crumby part was Danny, in all his playing, ran into the table and got a small black eye! NO FUN!!!  He's doing fine now and playing like any other day!  Here's all the fun pictures!

The boys wanted their stuffed Monkey and Turkey to sit with them with Santa!  

Mommy love!  How fun is that??

Here I am with MY mom!  Isn't she pretty?  We look a bit alike, don't we?

Here's my baby getting cheered up after his run-in with the table edge.   Little guy had a tiny swollen bruise in the corner of his eye. 

Here's Danny and I being silly with the Grinch!

What a fun day!

Ray and I even got to have the babysitter come over, eat dinner out together!!!!, finish our Christmas shopping and still have time to hang out after putting the boys to sleep.  

Whoo hoooo!  MERRY CHRISTMAS indeed!!
