My sister's house did not come equipped with a chimney, so here Santa must make his entrance through the front door, as is made evident by the snowy foot prints he left behind! My nephew was amazed by the leftover evidence that Santa had actually been in his house (as if the eaten cookies and gifts under the tree were not enough!) Later in the day, as we traveled from house to house visiting, he made sure to tell everyone that he had seen Santa's footprints!
Although Autumn was not entirely sure of what was going on, she was sure that there were toys, and she was going to play with them! She loves the Cozy Coupe car that Santa dropped off and now has her very own rocking chair on the front porch, thanks to Grandma!
I thought Christmas was fun when I was a kid and the presents left under the tree were for me and my sisters. Little did I know how much more fun it is when those presents are for your own kids. Watching little faces light up in amazement and wonder, practicing old traditions that I did as a child with my parents and starting new ones of our own.
Late into the night on Christmas Eve, as my sister and I were putting the finishing touches on everything before rushing off to bed, I remember thinking this is what our parents did for us and now we get to do it for our babies. I think it is more fun being on this side.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas filled with family and friends!
