Yes, all of the presents are on top of the china cabinet and the tree only dressed from the waist up.  The ornaments and presents remained intact all month!

Waiting to see Santa.  See him, we did, but that was all.

The REASON for the season.

Bailey, David’s dog, is getting a seriously enthusiastic hug from two others her size.  Yes, there is a dog in this picture.

Heidi looked so cute in the apron she made at school and did such a great job decorating her gingerbread house at the school party that day!

Awww!  She loves both of her teachers, but this is Ms. Corin.  🙂

It looks like he knows what he’s doing.

Of course, this picture doesn’t do this moment justice.  Heidi was rolling like Bailey does; they were having a grand time!

Wyatt was helping Granny learn how to use her new phone.  To be honest, it’s not an unlikely possibility.  He figures out how to take apart and put together anything with ease.

SANTA came!

Heidi and Wyatt don’t know yet.  🙂

They know now!

The shopping cart has been a big hit!

We all know everyone loves a new phone!

We have to give props to “Whisper”, our Elf on the Shelf, for helping keep our kids entertained and somewhat in line.  But, I have to say, let this be a lesson.  If you party all night, you will need to sleep all day!  At least he had fun and will be back!
