Christmas Morning

Santa came to visit Allen this year and was very generous – probably because Allen is such a good boy! On Christmas Eve we stayed at the Baez house until after midnight, and Allen was busy playing the whole time. So, Christmas morning was the latest he’d ever slept. He was still in bed at 9:15! When he woke up, he was all giggles but very relaxed. We told him that Santa had come and left toys and presents. Allen smiled and cheered, then asked for his milk and cheerios. He said, “I resting.” When he was satisfied with his mini-breakfast and “resting” time, he ventured into the living room to find a bounce house! Santa sure knew what he’d like; he jumped for almost an hour before he’d even look at his other gifts. Grandad came to see Allen’s reaction to Santa’s visit and was a great help with pictures and video. Allen did, eventually, open all his gifts from Santa and Mommy and Daddy to find mostly books and clothes, not that he is short on toys. He also got a stick horse, cowboy hat, and rock n roll Elmo. We know that Jesus is the reason for the season, but Santa sure is fun too!
