Santa Claus came....a little early!!!

Sometimes parents have to get inventive to make things work around busy holiday schedules...and this year Santa needed to come on the morning of Dec 24 to my nieces house.....due to this change in Santa's sched it made it possible for Denny and I to make a quick trip to Savannah to see the boys on "their" Christmas Morning.
We got there on Tues, 23rd and had a great grilled burger dinner and got in some good play time. Then we made our sugar cookies so they could be decorated the next day, and left for Santa...

Jase had a turn...






Quinton had a turn....




and Witt....







Then it was off to bed. Tomorrow during the day we were going to Monkey Joe's to bounce, play games and work off some energy. After a stop at Waffle House to fuel up!!
Monkey Joe's is wow....thankfully we got there when it opened and we were about the only ones there for about an hour. Then it got busy which made it harder to keep up with your kids....but we were 3kids/3adults so we were ok.
Made a few stops on the way home, then came home for some lunch and naps....we big kids just breathed for a min. Then it was more play time and finally time to decorate those Santa cookies.

Britt had this great idea for each kid to have their own icing cup and decorations...wow, that worked really well.








 "Hurry up Uncle Denny....and please don't eat the icing.."

 "Nanny...he's so sloooooooooow"

Uncle Denny helped spread some icing.....thanks Uncle D!!



" I'll just try these M&M's to make sure they're ok!!" 


Mommy gave a helping hand too...


How about a little more red icing???


And finally onto the "done" plate....


Great job guys...Santa is going to LOVE these!!!

After a pizza dinner it was time for THE bedtime story...Twas the Night Before Christmas...in our Christmas PJ's....then off to bed...thanks Mommy....


Now...with everyone asleep Santa's helpers went to work....


Wow....books, etch-a-sketch, art eisel, bouncy balls, play dough...it's going to be a big morning!!!


and a Dino Truck.....WOW!!!


The next morning was dis-belief...."and I wasn't sure Santa was coming...this is cool!!"


Art supplies....woohoo!!


 That's a cool marble game.......and Dino Truck


Where do we start...there's so much cool stuff!!

I LOVE my Dino Truck........



 The fishing game....I remember this one....




Even Uncle Denny got to play!!


I see hours of fun for the young and the old!!!



I want to draw, but I don't wanna put my flashlight down....I can do both....!!!


Potty candy in the stockings....COOL!! Now we have more incentive to go potty!!!
And diggin' those night goggles!!!







Santa ate all the cookies..........






All that made me hungry....sweet rolls and fruit, MY FAV!!!


Oh my...what a busy morning...but Denny and I had to head back to Atlanta. It was Christmas Eve and we needed to make the candlelight service at church and then head to Mom's to help get things ready for Christmas Day. 
Thanks Britt, Des and kids for letting us come and enjoy your Christmas, we had a wonderful time!!!
