"Christmas" was here

The spirit of Christmas was special this year. First we visited Mimi and Grandfather for a Christmas lunch in Greenville. We then drove to see Annie and Pawpaw where there was lots of fresh snow on the ground! We also visited Great Granny Joyce who shared some yummy fudge with Eli! We ate lots of Christmas cookies and sang "jingle bells" over and over again. Christmas eve TomDaddy and Meremere came over and helped us listed for Santa's sleigh bells. Last year Eli spoke of Santa as "Cau caus" but this year he spoke of him as "Christmas". He would say "Christmas" is coming. Or, I'm going to see "Christmas" soon. It was the cutest thing ... and it did no good to try to explain that his name was "Santa". Fifi, our elf, did an excellent job relaying to Santa what Eli wished for. Under the tree Christmas morning was a shiny new motorcycle for Eli and a pink play gym for Libby. Both tested out their new santa gifts right away and have continued to enjoy them this past week.
