Santa Claus is Coming to Town!!!

Every year Santa descends on the Ragsdale house a few days prior to the actual Christmas day, because the boys have been so good and so he won't have to look for them when we are travelling to visit our extended family. So this year Santa came the same night that school ended (even though Ethan is aware of how the presents get here, he plays along, so that his brother can have fun).

First daddy read us the Christmas story and  we talked about what Christmas means to our family, what it will be like if Annalee is with us next year, then it was snuggle and prayer time:

Then we set out some milk and cookies for Santa:

                                 

Santa put all the presents under the tree and enjoyed his snack:

This morning when we went to get the boys up, Isaiah was not in his bed...we found him hiding in the living room:

Boo!

First we looked in our stockings:

Then it was time to open presents:
