The time.... 3:00 A.M.
The place....mommy and daddy's bedroom
The announcement by Ainsley..... "HE CAME!!!!" "GET UP" "IT'S TIME TO OPEN PRESENTS!!!!"
It was a long day Christmas day, but considering that the girls had been up late ( 11 pm- bad parents) the two nights before Christmas (watching Christmas shows), and then being up so blasted early...they did great! Could it have been the karaoke machine and Wii,which Santa brought? Most likely!
Tracking Santa on NORAD. The girls were happy to be living closer to the East...that way Santa would come sooner.
All Saints has a "Santa's Workshop" the first week in December where the students can bring in a few dollars and "shop" for their family members. I helped set up and it was really quite an operation. The committee shops all year long and then offers these great gifts for the students. The moms do a really great job at finding nice, quality items and then offering them for $1 or $2. The kids had a ball. Kaley bought Ainsley a Red Panda stuffed animal and Ainlsey bought Kaley a stuffed animal hamster. Michael ended up with monogramed "dad" hankerchiefs (from Ainsley) and a "dad" pen from Kaley. I got a #1 mom purse sized notebook from Ainsley and a #1 Mom bracelet from Kaley. The girls were delighted to see our excitement over the presents they had "shopped" for. It was fun!!!

Sing with me "YMCA"....over and over and over and over....
The Karaoke machine is neat- it has a video camera so the girls can see themselves on the tv screen as they sing.
One very tired Ainlsey by the time dinner rolled around
