Night, Night, Elye! (she was not liking my flash in the dark room)
Well, at least for us it is. We decided to bump up Reesi's advent calendar a day and celebrate Christmas a day early. So we did the whole cookies for Santa, carrots for reindeer, Grinch movie, and Twas the Night Before Christmas book tonight. The children are all nestled snug in their bed, or not. Reesi busted into the office asking for water and hour after she was in bed. We assumed she was asleep and the office floor was covered with her gifts. We shuffled her out quickly and it was dark, but we knew she saw something. I went upstairs with her to assess the damage. She asked, "Mama, what were those presents doing in the office?" My cover: I told her that we got her a few presents from mommy and daddy. Santa will bring the rest tonight. Then I told her that some of them were for Mimi and Papoo. It looks like Santa's load will be light this year because there were only about two presents that we hadn't brought in yet. Ahhh! I am so mad.

Awww man. That stinks! In my family, Santa only brought a few big presents. My parents got credit for the rest. =)
So did she know it wasn't really Christmas Eve?
I started wrapping upstairs about ten minutes after everyone was asleep, and I kept telling my mom that I had a feeling Lofton was gonna come running up the stairs and his life would be changed forever.
At least you got credit for most of the goodies.
