Christmas 2010

So this isn't the most flattering pic of the kids,
but it's the only one Kamber is looking at the camera. 
I'll take it!
I have so many fun pics to post of Christmas,
 but this year I've been sick as a dog so I'm not posting them.
Well not tonight anyways.
But, I have a story I know I'm never going to write in my journal.
Let's face it, I'm a busy mom and I'm really prob never gonna write in my journal again.
I just don't want to forget it.
Here goes....
Rocky and I were laying all warm in bed this morning waiting for the kids to get up. I knew it was going to be soon, so I was savoring every last minute before all the Christmas fun would begin. Our door opened and a sad little girl walked in. I asked Kylee what was wrong and she answers, "Santa didn't eat." I asked her what she meant and she said, "Santa didn't come and eat his treats. And there are no presents under the tree." She was so sad and I was so confused. I asked her if she went downstairs and she said yes. Then I asked her if she was supposed to go down stairs and she shook her head no. Todd wasn't up yet so we had her climb in bed with us. I had to tell her that Santa did come, but she looked in the wrong room. See, we have 2 Christmas trees; 1 in the front room and 1 in the family room. Santa visited the tree in the family room. Thus no gifts under the tree in the front room. And Santa didn't eat all the treats left. He drank some milk, then dipped his brownie in it and took a bite. He also left a note telling the kids they had been very good this year. She just didn't realize Santa had only taken bites. Next time Santa will have to eat the whole thing....or toss it in the garbage. Finally at 8am Todd and the baby were up and we headed downstairs to check out what Santa left under the right tree. All was good in the end and we had a great Christmas. It was just so sad that Kylee was so sad. I want her to believe for a long time!
Merry Christmas!
