Santa came early!

Because Josh was leaving for another deployment before Christmas, we decided not to let him miss out on yet another visit from Santa. So Wyatt and Reagan "wrote" Santa Claus a letter...

Santa wrote Wyatt and Reagan back and had "Moe" our elf, deliver the message...

The letter told the kids that Santa would stop by our house the night of November 29th, so that when they woke up on the 30th all of their gifts would be there. So we set out preparing the house for an early visit from Santa. We hung the stockings, got a tree, put out a wreath and made Santa some cookies the night before he was to come...

The morning of the 30th came and I have never seen two happier children. I am so thankful that Josh finally got to experience a proper Santa visit with our kids (he was gone last year too). Here are some pictures from our morning together...please note: Wyatt was so happy about his basketball hoop that he hugged it for a solid three minutes.
