Someday, we will wake up at our own house on Christmas morning, celebrate as a family before going to gather with the rest of our families. Someday....not this day. Because this year, Christmas came today!! We are heading to Kansas in a few weeks to spend the holiday with our families, so we wanted to have our own little family Christmas before we left. But go figure, the Navy always has a way of changing any plan we make! Luckily Santa is flexible and rolls with the Navy's punches. Levi was supposed to go out of town this weekend, leaving us with our planned Christmas next weekend, just a few days before heading to Kansas. Well at the last minute, his trip got moved from this weekend to next weekend. Which means, Santa had to come this weekend! We paid Santa a little visit Friday morning, so the boys were very excited he was going to come early!!! After watching Christmas cartoons every night since the day after Thanksgiving, the boys have been enthralled in all things Christmas, so they knew just what to do!! We made chocolate chips cookies for Santa yesterday to set out on his plate. We also left the reindeer some carrots and Santa some chocolate milk- his favorite, according to Grant. We also left Santa's Magic Key on the front porch, so Santa could get in, since we don't have a fireplace. When the boys woke up this morning, they came down to see Santa's perfect presents he picked out for them- Grant got his Imaginext Ocean Boat and Wyatt got a bouncy dog! Their faces lit up!! Grant gasped and said, "My ocean boat! I've always wanted that forever and ever!" We unwrapped the rest of the presents from Mommy and Daddy and we couldn't have picked out better gifts! Each present was greeted with smiles and giggles!!! We spent the rest of the morning playing and watching the Polar Express!! It was a perfect early Christmas!! Now, we are sooo excited to go home and be with the rest of our family!!!
