CHRISTMAS DAY

 MERRY CHRISTMAS!

 Writing Weston's Letter and Her Letter to Santa Before Bed

I have never seen Macie want to get in bed as quickly as she did Christmas Eve.  We had a fun day minus a nap which made for a sleepy girl. Once she realized it was bedtime, she got the cookies ready, wrote her note, and we read books.  The only sad part was when she said her good-byes to Candy Cane.  She didn't want him to leave.

 Chocolate Milk for Santa

Ruby on the show, "Max and Ruby" gave Santa chocolate milk so Macie wanted to as well.

 Christmas morning we found teh cookies and milk gone and Santa left us a note.

Macie came in our room at 7:15.  We had both been up since six waiting for her to walk through the door.  She walked in and said, "I don't think Santa has been here yet."  Then she looked out the window and said, "There is lightening and thunder."  She crawled in bed with us and we convinced her that Santa always comes at night.  So then she was ready to investigate.

 Weston is easy to please.

 After a month of asking Macie what Santa was going to give her she finally replied on December 15th that he was bringing her a Super Girl Costume.  Good thing Santa and Amazon have connections.

 Yes, Weston's pjs are not matching.  I put the sport pants on the night before because the Christmas pants are too big and he pulls them off.  We didn't make the switch that morning.  HOW SWEET THAT BROTHER AND SISTER SHARE A HUG!

 Weston tore open the balls and squelled with delight. Nonnie and Pappy came over Chrismtas morning to share in the fun of Christmas Day.  We had a lot of fun playing with the kids.

 Once it started sleeting and snowing a little bit, Macie insisted that she go outside.  She was outside less then a minute, ran in, sat by the fire, and said she needed hot chocolate.  So we shared hot chocolate and snacks while watching Christmas movies.

 I love this sweet moment as Macie and Weston watch the snow. At this point, the ground was covered.  Macie ran screaming to Zack telling him to come look so we put clothes on again and were going to brave the snow.

 Some wrote on Facebook that it hadn't snowed in this area since 1975 on Christmas Day.  I didn't watch the weather that day to see if that was true.  However, Macie said when I told her that it was going to snow where Jackson lived that she prayed for snow.  So I told her that God answered her prayer.  She said, "He answered my question."
