Santa Claus came to town along with grandma and grandpa Kley and boy did we have a great holiday. Ben's mom and dad flew into town on Christmas Eve and where time went after that I don't know. We hosted Christmas Eve at our house this year as my parents were scheduled to move into their rebuilt house the day after Christmas. I went crazy cooking as I hadn't had any food for days from the stomach flu, needless to say we weren't lacking for anything to eat. All my family joined us and we had a wonderful evening. Keaton and his cousin Skyler spent the night tracking Santa on the computer and it was the cutest thing I've seen in some time. Skyler just turned 9 and still believes so she and Keaton couldn't get enough of watching Santa's journey all around the world. They were begging to go to bed as Santa was getting near!! Keaton and Ryan left cookies, carrots, milk and even a letter for Santa and his reindeer and off to bed they went. Santa scampered around and really enjoyed the goodies and left a letter in return!!! Ryan of course was up at 7am but Keaton must of been really tired as it was almost 9am and we decided we should wake him up. Ryan was indifferent to the whole Christmas morning business however Keaton bounded downstairs with a huge grin and sense of excitement, it was truly priceless the pure innocent bliss he was feeling. Santa had brought the boys a fish tank, play kitchen and lots of other fun stuff along with a tool bench from Aunt Katie and uncle Ron. Keaton was so excited that he just stood there speechless. After a fun morning of opening gifts and having a late breakfast we headed over to my brothers for more good company, more eating and lots more presents. It was a great day had by all and it went way to fast that's for sure. Something also has to be said about being in your own home over the holidays when you have kids. It made it such a relaxing and fun experience.
