Treat for Santa

 It's Christmas Eve and our little boy is totally excited for the big day tomorrow! The anticipation was almost too much for Ledger, so we tried to help the time pass with hot chocolate and marshmallows. It helped, but he just couldn't take his mind off of the coming onslaught of gifts and toys!

As is our tradition, we set out a treat for Santa. I have a sad feeling that this will probably be the last time we do this little tradition...

After spending the evening trying to wear him out so that he would actually fall asleep, we put him to bed. Surprisingly, he was passed out within about 15 minutes! Then the work really begins- Diana and I gather up all the stuff we got for him over the last month or so, trying to remember all the hiding spots we used, and bring everything to the basement. Diana will freely admit that she isn't any good at gift wrapping, so that job falls on me. I popped in a Christmas movie and got to work wrapping, cutting, and taping all the boxes and items. I had to take a few trip upstairs in order to get them all up there! Finally with the last gift wrapped (and the Christmas movie over), we place them all under the tree and tuck ourselves into bed, knowing that we are in for a long fun day!
