Christmas officially came to an end for our boys yesterday morning. Santa is a pretty flexible guy who will make a special late delivery if good children are away from home on Christmas Eve. In preparation for his visit, Dominick laid out snacks for Santa and his reindeer. When morning came, he found that Santa had left a series of rhyming clues which sent him all over the house. (Dom pointed out that Santa hadn't thrown away his granola bar wrapper or recycled his water bottle.) Finally, he ended up in the basement. There he discovered his new tool bench and sawhorse set. Noel received a Leap Frog toy, ironically the same one that entrapped Dom's arm earlier this year. It won't happen again, thanks to a redesign. Santa didn't leave batteries, though, so Noel's toy isn't as exciting as it should be. New batteries are currently charging. May they actually work! Do not get me started on the uselessness of rechargeable batteries. Has anybody had luck with these?
Here's a slideshow of some December photos. Don't you love it when you don't realize how few pictures you took during the holidays until you sit down to look at them? I blame the rechargeable batteries. Mom and Dad, I need to copy some of your photos!

The slide show is a nice touch. What a clever and inventive way to turn Santa's visit into a progressive clue game! Thanks for posting those pictures. We will share photos with you, of course, if you will do the same for us.
PS: Sorry about the previous deleted post. I forgot to "sign" it and couldn't figure out how to simply edit it.
Very nice! I'm glad Santa was willing to make concessions since you guys were nice enough to travel to see all the grandparents. Love the photos. Bummer on the rechargeables. I love the bathtub photo. Reminds me of you and Hannah playing in the tub.
Oh, no are our rechargeable batteries doomed? We've had no troubles yet. We just have the AA and AAA energizer kind.
Playgroup is going to be so much fun playing with all the new toys. We'll have to see how many workbenches arrived!
