We were lucky enough to have much of the Ely clan here for the holidays! And our extra special surpise came on the 23rd. Rich was slated to work on Christmas. The kids were all set to get up at 5 a.m. so they could see what Santa brought them before Daddy went to work. At about 10 p.m. on the 23rd, Rich got an offer from work to go in on the 24th and have off on the 25th. He jumped at the chance. When I told the kids the next morning they were ecstatic. This had been the first year where we just couldn't make it work. So glad it did anyway.
We made cookies on Christmas Eve with the cousins!
Showing off their gifts from Santa...cowboy boots and a heavy lift helicopter.
Somehow Santa knew Declan loves head massages (in my hand) and Reese's peanut butter cups!
Reading their notes from Santa. They write really long letters to him and thankfully, he takes time from his busy schedule to write them a note back.
Merry Christmas!
