Last Christmas, I made 2 mistakes. First of all, I was asleep & Dan was upstairs when Daniel woke up Christmas morning, so we didn't get his initial reaction on tape (which was priceless). Second, I had in my mind that he & Laura Ann needed to see their gifts together at the same time, so I woke Laura Ann up an hour early to accomplish this & she was very unhappy about it. I was more prepared this year. Dan sat in the family room with the camera on when he got up, so we got Daniel coming out of his room on video & we did Santa w/ Daniel first & then about an hour later with Laura Ann when she woke up. Things went much better!
Daniel was beside himself with excitement when he got up & found that Santa had been here! He came out of his room, looked at it all & then ran down the hall to our room. I heard him coming & he was the most precious sight when he got to my side of the bed- he was all of breath, saying "Mom, he came, Santa came, he came!!" It was the cutest thing. Santa brought just what Daniel asked him for- a Thomas set! Daniel stayed on the floor playing with his train set for at least an hour without a break- he absolutely loved it! This is absolutely the most FUN age!!!
