Playing Santa

One of my all time favorite things in life is playing Santa. Nick and I had a ton of fun wrapping and putting together Caleb's toys tonight. We had a great Christmas Eve with Caleb and were super excited he got to go to Church and my Mom's house for our typical Christmas Eve traditions.

Yesterday he came down w/ a fever, When he saw his Doctor she did not think it would break until Christmas day and he would have to stay in tonight (if it was above 101) but.... he woke up at 4am w/ a high fever, took some juice & formula plus another round of Motrin then work up at 8am this morning w/ only a 99.5 degree fever and it stayed below 101 all day so he got to go to Church and Grandma & Grandpa's and had a blast :).

We started out the night at the 3:00 church service tailored for kids then headed to my Moms house for our Christmas Eve traditions / festivities.

We then headed home, put Caleb down, and spent our first ever Christmas Eve as Santa.....WE LOVED IT! Obviously as I'm posting this quickly and it is past midnight it took us a tad bit longer than expected to put together some toys and wrap others but we had fun. Here are some pics, in reverse order as blogger has been uploading them in reverser order lately for some reason??

The Finished product... this is what Caleb will wake up to :)

We have decided that in our house in lieu of Santa bringing Mommy & Daddy gifts you leave a good bottle of wine out for Santa :)
This is me, After I actually got the tent together. (I am in my traditonal new Christmas PJ's that I have gotten and still get every Christmas eve since I was Caleb's age :) )



This is me attempting to put together the tent w/ the worst instructions ever!!!!!
