st. nicholas came last night

Our favorite tradition came today. We set our shoes out before going to bed, and bright and early this morning Sydney ran into my room asking to check on the shoes. I think she's catching on to all this...I can't wait for Christmas morning!

Tommy's been away for the week at a conference in Salt Lake, but we set his shoe out still. In the morning, I saw my little shoe had been replaced by one of my tall boots, filled to the brim with goodies. Santa and his little helper must've been up really late. :)

This is how Sydney looks when she gets excited

We skipped breakfast and munched on goodies all morning, instead.

Sydney continued her crazy faces and noises for about 30 minutes straight
