Santa Comes Early to our House

Before I get to the Santa bit, I had to share this picture of Trent. He jumped into the basket as I was sorting laundry, and he was perfectly happy to have me pile dirty clothes on top of him... Oh, the life of a cat!

I knitted a hat, mittens, and scarf for Hannah's Build-a-Bear cheetah, Grace

Now on to Santa. Since we spend Christmas in OKC, it is helpful if Santa can come to our house a little early. This year I decided the last weekend before our trip would be the best time. So, I called up Ol' St. Nick and made arrangements (my mom used to do this all the time, so I knew it would fly with Santa AND the kids).

Santa left a Fisher-Price nativity set and the extended sets as well.

The inn at Bethleham (which looks suprisingly EMPTY to me...)

The kids were hankering for a run for their Zhu-zhu pets (battery operated hamsters).

And of course Santa fill the kids' stockings (which I never figured out where to hang this year...).

Hannah, Elijah, and Trent enjoy the Zhu-zhu pets (Treat REALLY enjoys them!)

Merry Christmas!

How fun. Were the Zhu Zhu Pets a big hit? I got one for Truman. I hope he enjoys it. I agree, that inn looks suspiciously empty. Those innkeepers!
