Happy Birthday, Jesus!

There is something about a young child's face on Christmas morning that is simply priceless. This year, we had both sets of grandparents and two of our sisters all at our house at "seven zero zero" to witness the true excitement that only Santa can bring!

Christmas Eve, on our way to mass
Sprinking the reindeer food on our lawn - we wouldn't want them to get hungry, right?!
Sweet girl
Reading bedtime stories with Aunt Renee
Sneaky boy took a bite of one of Santa's cookies!
Writing our letter to Santa
Mildly excited!
"Santa brought me presents!"
Kate wasn't quite so sure what was going on...
But after fixing the "crazy hair" and a few stickers, all was good again
She opened a few presents, then demanded that she drink milk
I wish you could see Brett's face... he had wanted this for SOOOOO long!
Kate and her "princess puppy"
Ready for our "snow dusting" tomorrow that has already delayed school for 2 hours...gotta love NC!
One word - PRICELESS!
Happy boy
Even the adults got to be a little crazy
The fireman came - oh wait, it's just Aunt Renee!

One of the favorite toys - anything to zoom some cars off of!
Kate dressed in Brett's new fireman gear
Kate left all of her presents to go upstairs and read in bed with her new Dora
