On Christmas Eve, we sang carols together in the living room - Carl is serenading Jasper in the photo below - and then Carl took over the annual reading of Twas the Night Before Christmas. He brought a lot of dramatic chops to the occasion.
And then we tucked everyone into bed, to await the coming of Santa Claus and his elves. On Christmas morning, the kids were delighted to find lots and lots of presents awaiting them. We opened up stockings/Santa presents first, and then had an enormous breakfast of waffles, eggs, and fruit. Carl made a scavenger hunt for the kids with 20 clues hidden all over the house, and that distracted them while we got food ready. And then they were our elves, distributing presents to everyone's spot, and then the present-opening madness began.
