Well.
We're ready.
The dinner has been had.
The P.J's unwrapped and put on.
Showers have been had.
We read our traditional poem of "Twas the night before Christmas".
We have watched our traditional DVD of the birth of Christ set to lovely Christmas music. It really is a nice video, and a much more "modern" way to do the bible version of the story. It is people of all nationalities reading the Luke 2 series of scriptures that describe the birth of Christ.
The Things were SILENT during the entire video.
If anyone talked or made any sort of noise, Thing 3 would holler "SHHH! I'm watching Mary!"

Now we are tracking Santa on our Santa Tracker... He's in Central America now!!
Thing 2 has wanted to get in his new P.J.'s since oh about noon.
He is READY for Santa!!
Way Way Ready!!
So, at 8:00pm he had everyone convinced that they should all have a slumber party in Thing3's room. They all went in there to make their various nests to sleep in, and by 8:30, he was the only one asleep.
I am excited too.
I hope that they are happy with all their various gifts!
