Santa came to the Trayer house a day early because he knew that Todd had to work that night. Wasn't that nice??! The build up of this day has been so much fun now that the kids are 2 years old and are starting to understand the magic of Christmas. They have loved looking at Christmas decorations in the neighborhood, visiting Christmas in the Park, Gilroy Gardens Holiday Lights, Vasona Park Lights, Santa visits, gift exchanges, parties, cookie decorating, etc. The kids even know the words to some Christmas songs (courtesy of Todd playing them over and over again! haha OK, I admit it, I have had Christmas music going on in the car for about a month now.) Our favorite has to be Audrey's version of "We wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy two ears." It's definitely been a wonderful time of year and neat to see it through the eyes of 2 year olds. Todd and I look forward to volunteering more in the community this coming year and start to make this a regular part of our lives as a family. Santa, family and friends were very generous to the kids and I want the kids to feel the joy of giving as well. We took so many photos Christmas Eve morning, I tried to narrow it down.
Audrey couldn't wait to see if Santa had eaten the cookies and drank the chocolate milk (his favorite according to her) that we left out. Santa even left a note!

I love the look on his face! A pirate ship!
Audrey asked Santa for a doll house and he brought her one, complete with baby boy/girl twins :)
Santa knew these kids needs some sports equipment.
Frequent trips to the Monterey Bay Aquarium the last few months have made Nathan a big shark fan!
