While Visions of Sugar Plums!!

In this house we have a huge "game/teen" room at the front of our house. We use it as a bedroom for Jayson and Nathan as well as a big playroom. Well this year for Christmas Eve......... we decided to have one big slumber party and sleep together. We have a couch that pulls out into a bed in there, along with another couch and the bunk beds. We had plenty of space to sleep. So Cassie and Bryan slept on the top bunk.

Tanner and Daddy slept on the bottom bunk.

Hunter and I slept on the couch.

Jayson and Nathan and I slept on the pull out couch. (Yes, it is true I was in two different spots.) Twins did not do much sleeping so I had to move and sleep between them. :> The kids thought this was great as it was one big party! (We thought this was great because it was great kid control.) No sneaking out of the room to see what Santa brought or getting up to early. As a matter of fact...... finally at 7:00 when they were not stirring I had to start making noise. I could stand it no longer. They would have gotten up at 2:00 when they first woke up.... however, I just could not have my day start that early!!!

So while visions of sugar plums were dancing in their cute little heads.......... Busted!!! I manage to catch Santa after he got down our chimney!! I love all of the fun things that come with Christmas!!! Phone calls, Santa at the parties, emails with videos from Santa, tracking Santa on his journey!! And of course the catching Santa in the process of gift giving. My kids love, love, love it when I catch Santa each year and they wake up to a picture and a note. Christmas really is fun with kids!!!
