Christmas Eve was very relaxing, we all stayed home, made homemade pizza, and were cleaning the house for Santa. Sometime during the evening, Scout (our elf on a shelf) left some PJ's for the girls and a note saying he headed home to help Santa prepare for the big night, but to be good because he was always watching. He said he'd be back next year, they were sad to see him go, but really enjoyed having him! Let's hope the message sticks!!
The girls created a quick plate of cookies for Santa, and happily went to bed, hoping they'd hear him during the night. Tad and I finally were in bed around midnight after 'helping' Santa! The next morning, Tad and I were awake early for some reason, and waited to hear the girls excitement. We heard the pitter-patter of little feet and then a BUNCH of giggling with glee! Soon Emery came into our room to Daddy's side and said while jumping up and down 'Daddy get up, get up, get up, Santa's been here and he left us a bear'. She then ran out of the room, but came back soon 'Daddy, get up, get up!' Tad teased her and said he wasn't getting out of bed if there was a bear in the house, it might eat him and that we wanted to sleep a bit longer. She calmly replied 'it's not real, and let me check with Ella', but soon they were both back in our room asking to play with the bear. We decided not to delay them any longer, and got up to enjoy the morning. We took a couple of pics with the girls, the bear, and the tree/presents before waking up Evie. Evie had a pony tail in her hair the day before, so she enjoyed Christmas morning with a nice mohawk!!
Here are the pics of our morning!! Enjoy!!
