This year for Christmas Annie Kate used her video camera (yes her video camera; an upcoming post for sure) to try to catch Santa coming into our home. She set it on that mode that only tapes when someone walk by (hee hee)and we caught him! She still talks about this video. We burned it on a disk and she took it to school to show everyone.

Although running 6 miles a day has really slimmed down that good old Santa Clause.

I wish I would have had this blog during Christmas (i can't wait until this year) because we had one of the best Christmas' ever! It was the first year in 5 years that Jeff had spent home on Christmas. It was so nice not having to lug the kids up to the hospital. And if you think about it, Annie kate is only 7 so probably the first year she would remember having him home. We didn't get any great big gifts (most of the girls came from goodwill and then went back about 2 months later when the house went on the market) go on any fancy trips, have any visitors. But we did start one new tradition. Jeff borrowed this Santa suit from a friend and at about 8:30 took a little walk down the middle of our street. WE told all neighbors to have a look out the window with their kids. OUr street is lined with kids Annie Kate's age. And he rang is sleigh bells and waved. It was so great. Caroline was looking out the window screaming I love you Santa. Then for our 12 days christmas (we deliver one piece of the nativity every night for 12 days) Santa went to the home to give them the last piece. They still don't know it was jeff.

It was the best Christmas ever because we were all home together and because Shari Oman made the best dinner ever! enjoy the video.
