It's Christmas Eve and the Christmas tree in Oma and Grandpa's new sunroom is beautiful.
We go to the children's Christmas Eve church service.
The best part of the service is when the real fire comes out and we get to stand up and sing!
After church, we drive to a family friend's house for their annual party. William is pretty sure he sees Santa with his reindeer at least three or four times on the way there! At one point, Santa actually lands on top of our car! We are totally excited! Margaret learns the word "Santa" and chants it along with William in the back seat. We know we are almost at our destination when we see the luminaries lighting up the entire neighborhood. (I secretly resolve to not ever live in a subdivision that has a committee dedicated to telling you how you are supposed to decorate for the holidays.)
We have some food and take a whole series of hilariously bad photos of each other as we wait for SANTA to ARRIVE!!! (I'll post the bad pictures later. These are the best of the bunch!)
We hear bells outside! William and Oma rush outside and SEE HIM LANDING WITH HIS REINDEER!!!
He comes inside the door for his cookies while the reindeer get something to drink from the stream behind the house!
This year, we believe in Santa! He has a bag of toys with a present for each child!
William gets his present from Santa! I wish Uncle Mike hadn't "stepped out" at just the wrong time!
