Christmas Eve and Christmas morning

After our annual Christmas Eve servce at church, we headed home to put out lamingtons and milk for Santa.
 I think this was the first year Lachlan got to be in on the action.
 The stockings were hung by the chimney with care and stuffed to the brim by Santa.
 The next morning, the boys were excited to see that Santa ate every bite.
 Someone had a hard time waking up.
 They dove into their stockings first.
 Poppy was content once she found the cookies.
 Then we moved on to presents under the tree.  Gigi and Mr. Don got all the boys new pajamas and backpacks.  Jonas is pretty thrilled with his Texans jammies.
 Then they took a jelly bean break.
 Lastly, it was time for Santa presents.
 He was pretty excited with his car garage!
He jumped right in with his new "lemon" car.
 Reef and Jonas each got scooters.  Santa was unsure about this gift for Jonas.  He had changed his mind several times in the days before Christmas.  Reef wasn't super surprised since it was the only thing he asked for.  He also told Troy later that he saw the scooters in our closet before Christmas!  Oops!  Thankfully, he's not really questioning Santa.  He believed that Santa sent them early since he would be so busy on Christmas Eve!
 Poppy loved her new cash register.
 All the boys got in on the car action.
 After breakfast, we headed out to test the scooters.  You can't tell from this picture, but those are big smiles on their faces!
