After the kids went to bed, I finished my 'Christmas duties' and headed off to bed myself. On the way to bed, I turned off Wyatt's bedroom light.
About a minute or so later, I hear him talking in his sleep "Merry Christmas Mommy. Merry Christmas Mommy" then as he is returning to his dreams with a sigh "Merry Christmas".
Closer to morning...Josie came into my room "Mommy, Santa was here!"
"Oh, yeah? OK, but its not quite time to go downstairs yet." I was SO not ready to wake up...for the record, it was 6:00am, I told her she needed to wait until 7:00.
"Yeah, I saw a hoola-hoop, my stocking and a doll! But, I didn't touch any of it." She then proceeds to sit next to me and watch the clock. She literally sat there and watched the clock. At some point she did leave the room and about 5 to 7 came back up stairs saying "Daddy said we can open presents now!"
The kids had a good Christmas - next year we seriously need to work on behavior so that they can actually earn their gifts from Santa. :)
