The Big Guy from the North Pole Strikes Again

Last year we decided as a family that we would only ask Santa for three things since Jesus only received three gifts...and it is His birthday and not ours.

This year E got an unintentional, but important, lesson in prioritizing and finally settled on the following list:

1. iPod Touch 

2. American Girl Doll clothes

3. trampoline 

Luke's list was short and sweet...

1. tractor 

At some point between 10:52PM and 7:00AM Santa

Claus made an appearance at the McCollum household.  

 

 

 

 

 

Since E is our early bird, we were ecstatic

when she slept until 7! We let baby brother sleep

while she went to see if the big guy showed up.

 

 

 

 

 Of course, Santa couldn't leave the trampoline under the

tree. E told us that he must not have been able to bring it

but that was okay (melt my heart:). She was one excited

little girl when she finally looked out the back door. 

 

Stocking time:)

 

 

Finally at a little after 8, Luke Man woke up. He

was thrilled to see that Santa brought him a tractor!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Since Luke wasn't specific about his second and third items, Santa

  went out on a limb and brought a helmet and uniform set. We

  finally had to pry the helmet away from him when we went to 

 Nana's, and he wore his "muscles" (jersey with shoulder pads) all

  afternoon. Emma told us that she thought Luke would also like a

  trampoline, and since it was so big that maybe they could both put

  it on their list and Santa might be able to bring it. I love that girl!

 

 

 

Luke opened about three things from his stocking and he was over

  it. He took everything else and put it in the loader of his tractor.

 

 

 

 

Love my babies!!
