santa came!

when we finally decided to go wake our girl up around 9:30 to tell her santa came this is how we found her. she decided she wanted to sleep on the floor instead of her nice comfy bed. of course she couldn't leave her eyeor out either. she had him snuggled up right next to her. derek had woken up alittle earlier so we decided to let her sleep until she woke up. she is too grumpy if you wake her up not on her terms! we reminded her that santa maybe came and she was so excited. derek was crawling down the hall and she was waiting for him until he kept going the other way. she decided she didn't care to wait. she was so excited when she saw all their presents. derek ended up liking his tonka truck santa brought for him. to be honest though, he would have been completely happy with the 2 smarties suckers and the orange he thought was a ball. he kinda didn't really care about much more. mylee was supper fun this year! she loved every present. she wanted to open all of dereks too. when she was opening her petshops, she saw what it was then went hog wild on it. layne and i were laughing so hard! santa brought her a big horse and she loves it! she is so into horses right now. also she got some dress ups in a chest and she told us santa brought her a big treasure. holidays are so much more fun with kids! derek got lots of cars stuff from the disney movie. he loves all the little cars. he got a woodie from toy story and when he opened it mylee said derek has a great big woodie! layne and i were laughing so hard. i know, i know, we need to grow up but who cares. it was perfect timing too cause right before they finished opening all their gifts my mom, dad, layne and bryce came by to see them. it was way fun having them here while they opened some. after gifts i made german pancakes and instead of cooking them in a casserole dish you put them in big muffin tins. then when they are done you put fresh fruit and syrup on them. they will be our new tradition. it was so good. santa was good to the kids this year and it was so fun watching them enjoy it.
