The Stockings Were Hung....

Did Santa come? Oh the excitement and anticipation is more than they can handle!! Lucy is holding Felix (or should I say smothering him LOL).

In the living room the kids stockings were stuffed :) The girls tackled these first and had a ball!!

Her own razor!! I still can't believe that my first born has to shave---but she does and now she has her very own razor to prove it :)

Bella didn't know what to do with all the excitement :) She had a long night last night too (and has thus been sleeping most of the day). At about 3 am we kept hearing her collar going crazy from her shaking her head nonstop. I got up and could tell her ear was bothering her. I tried to scratch it for her or something to alleviate the aggravating condition---but I was unable to help. Mike got up and looked in her ear with a flashlight but could see nothing. We took her collar off so she wouldn't wake the kids up further (Lucy was already awake, but desperate to go back to sleep to insure that Santa would not be deterred by her being up). Bella was so pathetic, she didn't know what to do with herself. When she walked her head hung down on that side and you could just see she was miserable. She wanted outside and seemed to be less bothered out there, so we let her stay out the rest of the night. She is much better today, but exhausted. Then we had all the excitement of the morning :) Bless her heart :)
