Christmas came...and went. What a fun morning! We heard voices upstairs from the boys at 4:30 a.m.. Uh oh! Brian took a blanket and pillow up the stairs and camped out--he discovered how many ways to say "no" while half asleep. Finally, the clock rang 6:00 a.m. and it was officially Christmas Day! "Mom, are you awake?", one little voice said. (Shucks, sleep time is over). 
After a quick family prayer thanking Heavenly Father for Christmas and the real reason for Christmas, we set out to see what was under the tree. There wasn't ONE thing under the tree.....but there was a TeePee!The boys looked around and someone said:
"Hey, where are all the presents?"
Mom and Dad: "It's right there--a cool TeePee!"
Boys: "That's all?"
Dad: "Hey, let's get inside and play Indians!"
Reluctantly, David, Thomas and Jacob peeked inside the TeePee to find ALL the presents. Hee! Hee! Silly Santa tricked us by hiding them. It was a grand Christmas morning indeed! The new toys kept the kids busy all day long and we didn't even go out anywhere until evening time. It was great!
