This year we spent Christmas Eve in Elk Ridge with John's family. The highlight was a surprise visit from Santa!! Aunt Lana was reading 'Twas The Night Before Christmas' and at the very end of the book Santa came into the room. The look on Eleanor's face was awesome!! She was beyond excited! Right after he sat down in his chair she walked up to him and asked him if she got his letter (we had just mailed it earlier that morning). It was the sweatiest thing. She was even more excited when he brought her a set of princess kooky klickers. She told John that she has wanted those her entire life! Amelia didn't seem to impressed with Santa, but she wasn't afraid of him either. She did like her very first play dough set.
The kids also did their gift exchange. This was the first year Eleanor got to pick out all the presents for her cousins. She had a lot of fun picking out Lilly's gift and asked me about a 100 times if she could open it and just "test it out" for Lilly.
Listening to Twas The Night Before Christmas. You tell how much fun John was having!
Seeing Santa walk in.
Asking Santa if he got her letter.
Excited about her present from Santa. I had to explain to her that he was still coming to our house that night.
Amelia chillin with Santa.
Amelia was more interested in Eleanor's hand then getting her photo taken.
All the Martin grandchildren except Katelyn and Savannah.
Grandchildren with Great Grandma Hatch.
Don't ask!
