I can’t sleep! I’ve been up for hours just waiting and waiting for Santa. Where is he already!? I know he’s super busy but all I wanted to do was say hi and thank him SO much for all of my presents.
 
We’ve practically been preparing all day for his visit! We baked blueberry muffins just for him…they’re his favorite (he told me). We hung our stockings over the fireplace, finished our notes to Santa and placed them under the tree. Then, I helped mom and dad get ready to have our whole herd over for dinner. Hal and I set the table and helped mom cook. We eat the same thing every year to keep tradition… berry casserole, grass soufflé, twig torte and mud pie. YUM!

After dinner we sat around by the fire and told our favorite Christmas stories. Of course, Hal and I have the exact same favorite story (when we went to the North Pole) so he got to tell most of it! Oh brother! I didn’t mind hearing it again though. It really was a great Christmas!

Well, I’m getting really sleepy. Hopefully, I can stay up long enough to see Santa!  
   
Merry Christmas, everyone!
