Santa Came!

   Sure enough, we woke up on Christmas morning to discover that Santa came to the Bacon house!  Maggie came to wake us up and report that Santa had been there.  So, she woke up Lizzie and Joey, we called Meems and Pops to come over, and then the fun began!

Can you tell Lizzie is surprised about the Ipod touch?

Figuring them out...

He's up...and yes, that is a Coke...and yes, that Coke is a gift...from Maggie...

After opening everything at our house, Meems said she was going back to her house to see if Santa had left any presents there.  Of course, Lizzie and Maggie thought they needed to go with her to see if he left any for them at Meems and Pops's house.  Sure enough...he did!!!

Miniature horse...Maggie is in love!

Super cool barn with stalls and everything!

Santa even left somethings for Meems and Pops!

All is calm...

(at least calm enough for me to get a quick nap)!

Lizzie's Words Worth Remembering

(conversation between Lizzie and Pops on December 23)

Pops:  "I'm getting ready to report to Santa how you've been behaving today."

Lizzie:  "What are you, an ELF? "

(comparing Pops to our elf, Bobby, who reported to Santa each night)

Pops:  "No, I'm a watcher.  A watcher for Santa!"

Lizzie:  "Whatever"
