Christmas!!!

Christmas Eve night, we left Nana and Papa's house after baths to drive home. We fed the kids some nighttime snacks, then put them to bed. We were so excited the next morning when we woke up and saw that Santa had visited!!!

We woke up the kids with the news that Santa had visited. They looked excited.

Then we ate breakfast, because when the babies wake up, they expect food -- and quick. Rosemary ate quickly and was ready to go see what Santa brought, and was not happy to have to wait on her brother and sister to eat. . . .

The babies walking to the playroom to see the loot. . . .

Santa had taken out most of the babies' old toys, and replaced them with toys that he brought and toys from other people (mostly Nana and Papa) that the babies had received for Christmas. The big toy that Santa brought for the kids was a play kitchen!! It is definitely a big hit. . . .
