Twas the night before the old big fat jolly guy breaks into my house to bring some presents or something like that. I can't remember the rest of the poem, something about playing a game of mouse trap, take a nap, sit a while in Santa's lap etc etc.
Today has been a super busy but fun day as well. We had some guests from First Baptist Church in Florence,KY and as well as Woodlawn Baptist Church in Baton Rouge Lousianna drop off some more gifts for Isaac's Christmas Train Project. After that, Isaac had his own 30 minute photo shoot. A lady from the Cincinnati Enquirer stopped in to take tons of photos for the Greenville News back home. He enjoyed all the attention and had a blast while he was getting his pictures taken. He will be in the Christmas Day Edition of the Greenville News. Still no word on what section. We'll post it as soon as we know.
Next it was time for Santa's Elves to head out for a few last stocking stuffers.(We ended up with a fish aquarium. I've been trying to get that to fit in the stocking for hours now and for some reason the felt lining keeps leaking water.) Thankfully, Santa was very diligent in his planning this year and there are no presents that have "some assembly required", which actually translates "daddy's frustration and bad language sold seperately". So for all of you other Santa's helpers out there, I will be with you in spirit tommorow night. Nah I'm lying. While you're throwing tools across the garage or saying bad words to Mattel in your living room, I will be sound asleep.
After we went out shopping we stopped by The Ronald McDonald House to drop off one final load of gifts from the Christmas Train Project.
When we got home Isaac was here waiting to go see Christmas Lights. This week someone told us about the Mason Light Display. It is the actual light show that was featured on the Today Show, CBS News, and is being used in a beer commercial this year. You can check it out on youtube. Search for Christmas Lights Gone Wild. The guy had to close it down last year due to all of the traffic in his neighborhood and this year they have built two replicas of the front of his house at a local park and it features an awesome light show. We waited in our car for 1 1/2 hours just to get to drive up to it and it was definately worth the wait. Isaac sat the entire time with his mouth wide open grinning and wondering how he synchronized the lights to the music. It is well worth the ride over to Mason, if you're in the Cincinnati area.
We got back from the lights around 11:30 p.m. and Santa's elves still had to go to the basement to wrap presents while Isaac was asleep. Actually my mom and Melissa wrapped the presents. I just held the tape. I am good at that part. Wrapping to me is tying off the top of the Wal Mart bag or possibly even double bagging the gift if I want to keep it a surprise.
Well, it's 1 a.m and I'm going to bed.
