On Christmas Eve Hailey, Connor and Anna were so excited to hang up their stockings for Santa.
Then Aunt Penny helped them look up on the internet where Santa was. At first he was in Africa, but then he was on the East Coast of the United States, and they figured they needed to hurry to bed.
They ran upstairs to get the plate of cookies and milk ready for Santa, and an apple and a carrot for the reindeer.
After they went to bed the cat got in to the milk:)
David told them he would stay up and try and take pictures of Santa for them. They thought he was pretty tricky when we showed them the pictures the next day.
Santa had left each of them a candy cane on their pillow.
At David's house Santa leaves the presents in individual piles. When Hailey came downstairs on Christmas morning she yelled, "there are way too many presents down here!" She was right!

Here she is on her trampoline
This is the sleeping beauty dress that she wore for most of the rest of the day along with Hailey as Hannah Montana.
David and Anna sporting the hooded towels
the mermaid barbie she had asked for every time we went to Wal-Mart
The dolly that Grandma Ann sent. I don't think she ever got that the doll was from her Grandparents, she just kept saying, "he remembered! Santa remembered!" (This was the one thing she told Santa while sitting on his lap, that she wanted). She calls the baby Shushu.
She played hard all day with all the cousins and all their Christmas presents.
A present from the Watson cousins, cousin Whitney knows what a girl likes!

Playing play-doh with Daddy
Bird with blanket, water dish and fence (we have had to replicate this creation repeatedly since returning home)
Putting on a show complete with song, dance, and poetry
Okay, so I might have cheated a little. A lot of these activities at the end came on days that followed Christmas. It was all part of the festivities:) A great Christmas.
