Christmas Memories

Christmas has now come and gone - it's a little sad. We have eaten all the wonderful food, opened all the gifts, and seen all the out of town aunts and uncles. The boys have had a great time. Austin is beginning to understand this Santa idea and had many questions about Santa this year. Hayden was just so excited he couldn't contain himself. On Christmas Eve I was in the kitchen cooking for our breakfast the next morning and Hayden came running in the kitchen and said, "Mom, we forgot reindeer food!" Now, just about ten minutes before that I thought about it but sure did not want to wake him up and have him go outside to sprinkle it on the lawn. Luckily, he had not forgotten nor was he asleep so I got the bag of reindeer food and we went outside, at 11:30 p.m., and sprinkled reindeer food-- all in one spot (the grass was too wet to sprinkle it all over the lawn). I am sure that Santa saw the glitter and the reindeer ate all the food. They both had sooo much fun and was so excited about their gifts. My parents gave them a basketball goal for them to be able to play outside together- THANKS, Papa and Nana!!- they were so excited. They have received so many gifts - I have even left some gifts in their packages for them to open when the "I don't have anything to do" statement comes along. We are enjoying our well deserved break and are excited about the new year. Can't wait until Friday- the Cotton Bowl- GO REBELS!!!!
