'Twas the Night Before Christmas and....

the boys would NOT GO TO SLEEP!!!!

Austin kept saying that he was too excited and I guess Jacskson was too. 

He would just look up and smile and say "Momma". 

This was after Nana tried to rock him for about an hour!! 

But they are finally asleep and Santa was able to come in and do his thing. 

He blew out in the wind that is whipping around the house!! 

What a nasty night for Santa to be out doing his thing!

Now to hit the bed so those sugar plums can dance in our heads!!!

Merry Christmas

from our house to yours

NOW the stockings are hung!!

I picked up the boys stockings today!!  They are hanging on the mantel just waiting for Santa to come and fill them up!!!  They have the cutest little pockets on them.  One for a letter for Santa and one from Santa.  The boys need to get busy on their letters!! I personally know that Santa's letters are on their way-- from the North Pole itself!!!

And here are their bags for Santa to put all of their loot in!  I had planned on getting the bags from Pottery Barn but found these at Under the Christmas Tree this year and decided they would be perfect!!

So, now we are just waiting for Santa to arrive.  Russell the Elf is keeping a close eye on the boys.  It is so funny to ask Jackson "Where's Russell?" and off he goes looking for him, high and low!  I didn't think that he would have caught on to that this year, but he has.
