Christmas

On Christmas Eve, the boys helped me bake cookies for Santa. They were, of course, made with refrigerated cookie dough, but they're mighty tasty.

Casey begged me to buy these cookies with

Christmas trees on them.

Taste-tester.

As bedtime finally came, the boys both helped get the cookies and milk ready for Santa.

Casey thought Santa would be really hungry.

Needless to say, the boys were very excited for Santa's visit. Casey was so excited he'd fall asleep for a few minutes and then wake up crying because he still had so long to wait. The anticipation was almost too much for him. Brett, he fell right asleep and had to be woken up this morning.

When morning finally came, the boys could hardly wait to go and see what Santa had left for them. I made them wait in our bedroom until I got the video camera ready. Below is video of them walking into the living room and getting a first look at their loot.




I think they were very pleased with their presents and have spent most of today bugging us to help them open them. :)

There were especially excited with Santa's gifts.




We all had a great Christmas. Dan bought me some new pajamas and slippers and a new purse and a hat, scarf and glove set. He has great taste and always does a good job picking things out.

Dan was thrilled to get a version of the game "Pitfall" for the Wii. This was a game he played on his Atari all the time when he was a kid.

I hope all of our friends have had a great holiday and I can't wait to hear about their holidays.
