We arranged with Santa for him to send presents early this year as we were leaving for England on Christmas Day. Santa was nice to respond with an email to Mum and an actual phone call to Dad. Madison informed us that Dad was special because he was a doctor.
Christmas presents under the tree before wrapping starts flying.
Kids waiting to come down the stairs and tear open the presents.
Caleb hugging his new laptop. He's been waiting for two years for this. He was so surprised.
Madison got a new DS that she played non-stop on the plane.
EB had been begging for this toy so Santa made sure the good boy got what was on his list.
Declan was thrilled to get his new nerf gun that fires darts at 3 per second.
The kids received quite a few other gifts including (but certainly not a list of everything):
Caleb: Laptop, Laptop Case, Spyware for computer, Computer games, necklace (for a man - although his dad did enjoy teasing him that Caleb had got a purse and a necklace for Christmas)
Declan: a Wii Fit, Raving Rabbits game for Wii, Nerf gun, digital camera
Madison: Nintendo DS, games for the DS including High School Musical 3 and Nintendo Dogs (which she loves), a ton of art supplies, Pixo's
Ethan: Cars toys, couple new hummers, GeoTrax Airport and GeoTrax Bridge and other plans.
Steve: new iPod with music downloaded for him, clothes (lots of clothes), shoes
Kim: new bracelet, lots of perfume, her favorite annual pj's, boots, and many other items can't remember.
It was a wonderful day. We then went to our friends the Scoresby's for Christmas Eve dinner, which was lovely. They knew that we were leaving te next day and would have lots to do and not needing to fuss with cooking. We are grateful for friends who are so kind to us.
