Brooks was so very excited that not only was he going to get a visit from Santa but he was going to get a visit from the Tooth Fairy as well all in the same night! Brooks usually sleeps through the night as he should for a 7 1/2 year old. But, this night he was up several times. He woke up several hours after he had gone to bed with his tooth under his pillow and came out to show Blake and I that the tooth Fairy had come and left him a 5 dollar bill. We told him that we had been up the whole time and didn't hear or see anything. He then told us that he saw her and that he only saw yellow. ( he wasn't quit awake ) He then went back to bed and went back to sleep until he awoke about 2-3 more times. I think he was very excited and couldn't stay asleep!
The next morning the kiddos woke up and came into our room to tell us that Santa had come and Brooks said," there is a truck load of presents out there you guys!!!" We had a fantastic Christmas. The kids got to open some gifts from Mom and Dad Christmas Eve along with the gifts from Nana and Papa.
This was the first year that we didn't' have to go anywhere for Christmas. It was super nice just to hang out all day in our p.j.'s and play games and relax. It was a great day. Pics to come....
