Santa came...

On Christmas Eve, we put milk and cookies for Santa and a carrot for Rudolph by the fireplace. We tracked his progress around the world online before bedtime. Conor really understood what was going on this year, it truly is so fun to see Christmas through a child's eyes. In the morning, it was a magical sight when Conor realized that Santa had actually come. He snuck into bed with me to snuggle for a little bit, until he remembered that there would be presents to open. The only thing he really asked for was a Barney Christmas move, and Santa came through!
He got a few other goodies too: Disney puzzles, Toy Story 3 water bottle, toothbrush and toothpaste, chocolate, and some chapter books for Daddy to read with him at bedtime.
Riley woke up after a good nights sleep and was still a little dazed when it was time to unwrap presents. Mostly she just wanted to rip and eat the paper.
She got a toy for her high chair, some little people, a book, and a toothbrush.
Santa also had a little help with the toughest project of all: making Frosty come to life. Laura, Grandpa and Conor had built the snowmen, Frosty and his girlfriend Crystal, earlier in the week (see last post). Conor tried so hard and waited so long to make them come to life like in the movie. He even waited around while the others went sledding and played in the snow, spraying water on them, singing to them, and doing whatever else he could think of. So when Santa came, he dropped some magical Christmas snow on them and they came to life and moved to the front yard. Daddy, Grandpa, and Laura did have to help them out a little.
