I put on Nathan and Charlotte's Christmas pajamas at Mama and Papa's house. When we got home Nathan got Santa's cookies and milk ready and we sprinkled our reindeer food outside on the yard. We talked again about what Santa MIGHT bring to Nathan, and then he reminded us about his idea on how to get a new bike. Several months ago, I ran over Nathan's bike with my car. Wayne pretty much fixed it so that Nathan could ride it, but the wheels were still pretty messed up. Anyway, Nathan said that we should be the old bike by the tree so that when Santa came, he would see that Nathan's bike was messed up and realize he needed a new one. Wayne and I thought that was so clever! So we got his bike set up in front of the tree and then they both went to sleep on a pallet on our floor. That's when Santa worked his magic!
When Nathan and Charlotte woke up, they were so excited to see what Santa brought! Charlotte got her new kitchen that Nathan suggested. And Nathan got a bike and a huge Optimus Prime. Every time Wayne took Nathan to the toy store, Nathan was always mesmerized by this toy. He knew it was a pretty major toy and not one Daddy was going to buy on a regular trip to the store. He always said, "Maybe Santa will bring it to me." And that was 6 months before Christmas!
Mommy and Daddy got Charlotte a grocery cart and extra food, and Nathan got tons of new Transformers, super hero action figures, a remote control car that flips over when it hits something, and two books.
When it was time for lunch, Mama, Papa, Grandmother, Aunt Jen, and Grandma all came over for Christmas lunch. I fixed a roast, mashed potatoes, and rolls. According to my dad, the roast was super tender and the rolls were the best he's ever had! I'm pretty sure everyone had happy tummies! Nathan and Charlotte loved showing off their new toys, and we loved seeing them both so happy. Wayne and I were so relieved that they were so happy with what we got them!
I'll never forget what Nathan said after he opened all of his presents: "Santa is a miracle!" When Wayne and I asked him what that meant he said, "A miracle is when you are really happy." Merry Christmas to the two sweetest kids I know!
