"I heard something." The cold hand moved away from mine as I jumped in my skin. " I heard something" was the statement again. It wasn't my wife. It wasn't even 2 a.m. yet.

My daughter stood over me with wideness in her eyes. I still had grit in mine. She heard something and thought it must be Santa. My wife and I tried to suggest we lay here in bed another 30 minutes. Both kids crawled in and there was no going back to sleep.

We came to find Santa had indeed arrived, leaving crumbs and a empty glass behind. We allowed them to open the bags. 30 minutes after that, with a cup of coffee in hand, we then proceeded to give them their gifts from us. The kids had a blast.

Kel crashed around 4 a.m. back to bed. I crashed on the couch as the kids continued to check out their loot. Later I tried Star Wars Lego 2 with them and the Guitar Hero. My fingers are already tired. LOL At least the Guitar Hero has songs from the 80's. (smile)

The living room looks like a explosion of toys.

Merry Christmas everyone.
