Christmas PJs
Right after our Christmas play we were enjoying some of the church films as a family and frosting cookies. Scared me to death when Innej or one of her pals rapped on the window then rang the doorbell. We noticed then the bag was missing. I suggested that maybe Innej hid it! Our sneaky elf hid the goods in Amelia's bed under her covers. Soon the kids had paper flying and new colorful PJs swinging in the air. Each kid took a turn putting the gift bag on their heads. Christmas is pretty much the only time of year the kids voluntarily crawl into bed.
Santa did a good job decorating the tree with balloons. He even tracked Christmas snow and glitter from the fireplace to the tree. He laid out our Nativity in front of all the gifts to remind us of Jesus. We ran out of carrots so Amelia left 8 sticks of celery and a bit of cucumber especially for Rudolph. Santa was done before 11:00! We almost got busted by Phillip while setting up the bouncy house. He came halfway down the stairs before we noticed him. Once again my famous skills for underestimating things came into play. The bounce house is...well huge. It barely fits in the open space in the basement. Barely. Justin looked at me with a "really?" look. Yep! Really.
