Twas the night before Christmas!!! Ellis Style

Twas the night before Christmas and as Amy was in the kitchen.
Not a child was stirring, not even our Griffin.

The stockings were placed under our tree with care,
In hopes that Santa Claus soon would be there!

G did not like this big jolly man at the mall,
We hope Santa will leave him more than a melted snowball.

And Daddy was tired relaxing in his chair.
After putting together a battery powered car with care.

Then he says, "Oh my! I may need a shot of caffeine!"
I still need to put together Griffin's big trampoline!

We opened the box, my heart skipped a beat,
Let no parts be missing or parts incomplete!

Too late for last-minute returns or replacement.
We got lucky, Q set it up right in the basement!

And listening to Christmas music coming from right down the hall.
Amy cuddled up on the couch (well sort of) wishing snowflakes would fall!

She has been hoping for a White Christmas this year!
Quentin says, "Why? You are from Texas, it never snows there my dear!"

Then off to bed the rest of us go!
We'll dream of sugarplums with or without white snow!

No cookies, snacks or milk shall appear,
Santa Claus is on a diet at our house this year!

The next morning G opened his presents that Santa had left last night.
Mommy looked up at her family and thought, "I am one lucky lady, what a great sight!"


****Here is our "Twas the Night before Christmas"! Yes, it does look like Santa's sleigh exploded in our living room! But we had such a fun time and made lots of fun memories!!!
Here is Q and I before our last Christmas party of the season! The Tidemann Family hosts such a fun party on Christmas eve every year!!!
Mommy helping G open some presents!!!! LOVES his new laptop!
Daddy and little man having so much fun opening presents!!!
Vroom Vroom! G LOVING his new wheels!!
