Last Friday night we had a visitor at our house. We were sitting around in the living room and there was a pounding on the front door. I sent Emily to answer the door and would you believe that Santa was in our front yard! When she saw him I heard her make a slight gasp under her breath. After Santa came inside and passed out chocolate and candy canes, he had Emily write down her Christmas list on a piece of paper for him. She was so surprised and excited that she couldn't even think of what she had said she wanted. When I told her some of the things she had told me she was asking Santa for she said, "Yeah, right." When Santa asked Emily if she did a good job keeping her room cleaned up, she was honest and said, "not so much" but she promised Santa that she would keep working on it. Eli would not sit on Santa's lap at the mall the other day, but he wasn't scared at all when Santa was at our house. When Santa asked him what his name was he answered, "Eli Christian Adams". I guess he didn't want Santa confusing him with any other Eli. Well, tonight is Christmas Eve, so we will be getting Santa's milk and cookies ready (Emily has already baked them) and getting the reindeer's oats ready. Then we will hang our Santa key on the front door before we go to sleep. (Emily says she staying up all night, but she says that every year). Everyone have a Merry Christmas tomorrow!
