Cody and Deuce were explaining Santa to Ella and this is what I heard Cody say to Ella, "And then Santa breaks into your house. But, don't be alarmed- he is not gonna steal anything. He'll leave you presents."

Deuce spoke up, imitating Santa, "Turn off your alarm, ho ho ho. I'm just a jolly fat man spreading joy."

Silly kids. Ella is now saying "Santa" very clearly, LOL.

We went to the Christmas Eve service at church and then came home and sang "Happy Birthday Jesus" and had cake for a mini-birthday party for Jesus. The kids have now headed up to bed and Shawn and I will finish wrapping and putting out gifts. Tomorrow will be a quiet day around here. Gifts when we wake up and then Shawn's dad and uncle will come over at about 2 for dinner. I think this is the most relaxing, nonstressful Christmas I have ever had, lol. No crazy family functions to deal with, just my husband and kids here at our home. Nice.

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you have a fantastic holiday!
