Our Christmas was wonderful this year. Christmas brings on a whole new meaning when you have children. I hardly could sleep the night before because I was so excited to see Carter's expression when he saw what Santa brought him!
Santa left lots of presents by the tree & C's train table that he asked for!
When he woke up RJ & I went in to get him & he could see the tree lights on and quickly spotted what Santa had left him. He pointed & exclaimed, "is that a train set?! did santa leave a train set for me??!!!"looking at all the goodies in his stocking
playing with his new train table & trains
Before opening every present he'd asked, "is that a train in there?" & when it did not contain one, he'd quickly push it aside and go after another- & repeat until a train was indeed in there. Then it needed to be opened immediately! Sissy had fun opening the presents too! She got a new hat in her stocking! Isn't it cute?!
She really liked the bows!
After all the presents had been opened there all alone at the back of the tree was a special box with Carter's name on it. To his surprise, a silver bell awaited inside with a note from Mr. C himself! He was so excited to have a bell from Santa's sleigh!Carter brought the bell to his ear, shook it to hear its sweet sound. He looked up & quietly said, "i believe."
It was the most perfect moment ever! How adorable is that??!!!! For those of you who don't know, he basically replayed a scene from The Polar Express. Of course NO ONE had a camera on hand to capture that sweet moment on video! ahh!
It was such a great Christmas- Kennedy's first, the bell, & the snow that dumped all day long! How was your Christmas?
