We have been watching Santa's progress today on Google's Santa Tracker. The kids are amazed at how fast Santa can deliver gifts and I am as well. I haven't done the math as to how fast he is delivering, but when he was over China, he had already delivered over a billion gifts. And he was just getting started!
Avery watched nervously on the map as he was delivering gifts to the Middle Eastern countries.
"Is that where the war is?" she asked.
"Yup." I said and showed her where exactly.
"What if Santa is shot?" she asked, worried.
"He's magic." I said. "He will be fine."
"What if he is cannon-balled out of the sky by a rocket bomb?"
Piper is excited about Santa, so much that she starts jumping and giggling every time his name is mentioned.
"I love Santa!" she yells. "I want to take off his mustache and throw it on the floor and step on it with my boot!"
Milo isn't sure he knows what Santa is, but he sure has nailed down what Santa says.
"Oh, oh, oh, may wismis!"
Tucker has noticed the chimney on the outside of the house and is still wondering how in the world Santa is going to fit down it. Only a boy wouldn't take "it's magic" for an answer.
And of course, Ruby can't contain her excitement. The closer Christmas comes, the harder she jumps in her Jumperoo and the louder she squeals. She has been such an easy baby and not much ruffles her feathers. She wakes up, drinks a bottle, goes back for a nap for about two hours, wakes up and jumps in her Jumperoo until she is hungry again and then sits in her Bumbo watching the other kids until she gets tired. She goes back for a nap for about four hours, then jumps in her Jumperoo and sits in her Bumbo until it's bed time. Of course I have to take her out every now and then to squish and snuggle her because she is too cute to just walk by. I'm enjoying every second of her goodness because I'm sure it will end at some point.
We are counting our blessings this Christmas! Chet has just graduated and is done, with a capital D, with school. He is enjoying his new job with the local Sheriff's Department and I am enjoying my full-time job as Mom. Our kids are happy and healthy and all of our hard work is starting to pay off.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
