The youngsters rose around 7, hair tousled and eyes heavy. They dragged us out of bed as they begged permission to peek under the chimney. I got my cameras ready and granted their request. There were some curious clues left by only one possible source. A few half eaten cookies and some raw carrots with bites bitten out of them.
Kaia found a spy kit left under her stocking. "We're gonna crack this case WIDE OPEN!" -Kaia
Gabby found a pogo stick under her stocking. "I got a pogostick! But I didn't get a real live penguin,"- Gabby
Kaleb found a Helicopter lego set under his stocking. Dad didn't waste a second helping him assemble it. Penny found a wooden puzzle box under her stocking and proceeded to hand the gift over to me, while emulating Santa Clause, "HO!HO!HO!"-PennyThey ripped apart all their stocking gifts and then we waited for Gammy to arrive, before the wrapped presents were opened (they were all from her).
Kaia received a warm coat, pants,a couple fuzzy hoodies, a joke book, biography chapter books, a pokemon playhouse, DS styluses, Christmas jammies, a new helmet, and the book Puff the Magic Dragon.
Gabby received the book Jack and the Beanstalk, a fashion design drawing book, Christmas jammies, the newest Fancy Nancy book, and a fuzzy hoody,
Kaleb received a new Cars bike, helmet, and bell, a firetruck puzzle, a book about Things That Go, Buzz Lightyear jammies, and a Little People farm play set (to be shared with Pen).
