The Day After: Santa Came!

Finally, at long last, we were headed back home on December 26th to see what Santa had left under our tree!  The present opening continues ...

Amazingly enough, Santa had come in and left a pile for each of the kids while we were gone on our holiday travels.  Not only that, but the kids each got the few remaining items that they had been hoping for on their Christmas lists!

Kara was thrilled to find a LeapPad in her pile, and I still don't know HOW Santa managed that one!  Those things have been sold out everywhere since October!  She also got a microphone, scrapbook set and Password Journal.

Jenna's big gift from Santa this year was a Casio Keyboard, so now she can learn to play piano just like she's always wanted!  (because you know, every pop-star can play the keyboard or piano!)

She also got an American Girl craft set, microphone and Password Journal, so her list was complete!

I can still hardly believe it, but at just 4-1/2 years old Jack got a Nintendo ds from Santa!  Jenna and Kara had to wait until they were much older, but I guess Santa didn't want the 3 of them fighting over them anymore and decided to let Jack have one of his very own.  He also gave Jack some new Play Dough, Legos, and a Mario Brothers racetrack with slot cars.  Score!

Jenna, Kara and Jack are certainly lucky little kids to have received EVERYTHING they wanted on their Christmas lists this year!  What mommy & daddy and grandma & pa and grandma Muehleck and their aunts/uncles didn't get them Santa did.  They must have been EXTRA good this year : )
