christmas 2008

after waking anthony up at 8 a.m. (yes, we actually had to wake him up on christmas morning - hmmm, he's my kid as far as the sleeping goes, but not in the getting up christmas a.m. dept. - i was always a very early rise that day!)...he came downstairs to see if santa made his visit.

when we visited santa at the mall a few weeks ago, anthony had asked santa for 2 things specifically...a soft pretzel (yes, you were reading correctly) and a pair of scissors (this was followed by santa repeating back to him scissors? and anthony screaming, "scissors to cut paper with" in his face...it was honestly very funny, not nasty).

santa did not disappoint and left not only the soft pretzel where his cookies, the carrot and milk had been, but also this cool note for t.

along with this very cool pair of zebra striped scissors...to cut paper with!!!

after a quick a.m. nap for tony after opening the rest of his presents, we headed off to my mom and dad's for brunch and more presents that santa left at their house...tony got a drum set! he loves it and honestly, mom and dad think it's pretty cool too.

from there we came home and t took another good nap before heading to betty nana and gary's for christmas dinner and yet more presents.

we had a beautiful christmas and thank God for giving us another happy and healthy one with our families!
