Dennis let us sleep until 8 this morning and he came to our room and climbed into bed wi
th us. He told us "good morning--I want to watch TV in Mommy and Daddy's bed." So I turned it on and we watched for a few minutes until I saw David put on his glasses and sit up, and then I asked Dennis if he thought Santa had come. He sat straight up and said "Santa came?" and I told him to go check under the tree. He ran from the room saying "I look under the tree, I look under the tree" and I set off after him quickly. He got distracted and detoured into the den (where his new rocket from Nana Gaynell and Papa Jim waited by the nativity set--the astronauts had to visit baby Jesus last night). I told him to look under the tree because it looked like Santa had indeed come and he turned around and said "LOOK AT ALL THE PRESENTS FOR ME!!". I quickly grabbed the camera and watched as he began a festival of paper ripping. He got a book (Truckery Rhymes) and a couple of coloring books, two Christmas DVDs (Thomas the train and Bob the Builder), an Uno Moo game, a Thomas the Train flashlight, a puzzle, a Fisher Price School Desk (vintage), a new Chevron car, and the big gift: a Fisher Price Imaginext Fire Station and truck set. We managed to keep him from opening the fire station until the last gift, which is a good thing because he played with it exclusively for seven hours today. It came with 3 firemen that slide down a fire pole, a truck that has sounds and lights, axes, water cannons that shoot plastic water, fire hose, trampoline, fire jackets to put on the firement, a bunk bed, and a computer desk for the fire station. Santa did GREAT!

Santa did GREAT!Gran and Pop and Grandma and GrandBob came over for Christmas breakfast, eggnog French toast with sausage and eggs and fruit, and they played with Dennis and his new toys for a few hours. After they left, he napped and then played fire station until it was time to go to Birmingham to Pop's family Christmas. The fire station came with us. Dennis enjoyed himself at Uncle Bradley's place and played with Nate until supper, and then he nagged us to open presents. The dirty Santa gift exchange was as hilarious as always and Dennis sang to us all the way home (different versions of Jingle Bells). Uncle Denny taught him to say "are we there yet?", something we will have to retaliate for in due time. It was a wonderful Christmas.
