Well all of the gifts are out and I just saw Santa's sleigh take off from our roof. The kids are very excited and did not want to go to bed, but we told them if they didn't go to sleep that Santa would not show up. Somehow that always gets the kids to bed quickly. We had dinner earlier tonight with the Grattans and Deena put together an incredible meal of Shrimp Fra Diavolo and Jumbo Lump Crab meat with a Cheese Filled Ravioli. The dinner was out of this world and truly a great start to Xmas 2009.
After dinner we heard the sirens and we saw Santa riding through the neighborhood on a fire truck. Not everyone was excited about running outside to see Santa, but JP and Connor did lead the charge in the frigid temperatures in their Xmas pajamas. Apparently when Santa is in your presence the cold weather does not seem to matter. It has been a wonderful night and the last photo sums it up nicely as Hailey and Carley dream about Barbie dolls and drum sets. It's about midnight now and I still have to wrap a few gifts for Tina, but I thought I'd leave you with some photos of our 2009 Xmas EVE!
Merry Christmas!
Where is Santa?

The big guy himself riding through the neighborhood!
Not a creature was stirring!
