Not a creature was stirring, not even three little creatures who were over the moon excited with anticipation for the Christmas morning! The stockings were hung, Santa had come, and the lights sparkled with a quiet magic that filled the air with peace and nostalgia.
Christmas for me, now that I am a mother, is so much more thrilling. To see the anticipation leading up the Christmas morning and to feel the joy of the kids as they receive their gifts is so rewarding.
In true toddler fashion...
They received mostly small gifts from us because we knew that Santa was bringing them bikes! I had heard Santa the night before making all sorts of noise with the Legos. After we were all done opening presents, I told the kids that maybe they should go check in the pile of Legos to see if Santa left anything. Sure enough there was a gift hiding and when they opened it, there was a note inside telling them to go look on the front porch. They couldn't believe what they saw! They were elated and so excited for their new bikes!
(Notice they are all wearing scrubs. They are now doctors just like their daddy! Their scrubs even say their names - Dr. Lucy, Dr. Todd, Dr. Anna. So dang cute!)
