After dinner, the kid's got dressed in their new jammies and then we sat by the tree and read "Twas the Night before Christmas". We purchased the book this year and I was very excited about it. It was illustrated by Mary Englebreit and was just beautiful. Anyway...we also read the Christmas Story from Luke.
This year, along with the traditional cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeer (Peyton insisted on leaving 9 this time...1 for each reindeer) Peyton colored Santa a picture and also wrote Santa a letter asking him why he always wears a red suit. It was supper cute. He said, "momma, if all of the carrots and cookies are gone, then I'll believe that Santa is real." This validated my suspicions...I had been wondering if he still believed. I sure hoped that the plate would be empty.
