When we returned home we had a sing along with Brianne on the piano and Caitlin & Courtney playing their violins. It was neat to see how far each girl had progressed in their musical talents since the year before. Nice job ladies! We then read the story about the Birth of the Savior from the Bible and read Twas the Night Before Christmas.
The Santa trap rang loud and clear at 5:50am (for several seconds..which seemed like minutes!...I guess Santa's boot buckle got tangled in the string on the pots and pans!) It woke everyone up and the girls dashed downstairs to see what Santa had left them.
Victoria was the most excited because she received the coveted camera she has been wanting for a year! Tiffany was also excited to get the Barbie doll she was hoping Santa would being her. All were very happy indeed.
Ron received an interesting gift from his parents. Take a look at the picture below. I feel sorry for Victoria's first date this coming Autumn. (Gasp, poor guy. You know Ron will be wearing this shirt when the lucky fellow comes to pick her up. I am sure it will make the guy feel really welcome.)
Of course we took time after opening presents to take the annual Polar Bear swim! OH MY, it was so cold this year! We did have the spa up and running this year, so it did make the polar bear swim much nicer. Ron and the kids kept jumping from the spa into the cold pool over and over again...they are pretty daring.
