saint nick visits denton early...

Lynn begged to have St. Nick visit early last night so he wouldn't miss the boys' reaction. He was up and on a flight to Corpus Christi this morning at 6:00. So last night, St. Nick made the first stop of the evening in Denton, Texas.

Lynn took the boys out on an errand so I could wrap some presents and as they were leaving he asked me if he'd "heard right...was St. Nicholas visiting our neighborhood early because Logan and Caleb's dad had to go out of town early tomorrow morning?" I figured he'd heard right since we'd already put our shoes out on the porch anyway.

When the men-folk of the household arrived home, the boys checked on our shoes (just in case SN was early). Logan found a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle tin ornament filled with candy and a tiny rev-up motorcycle in his shoe. Caleb found another TMNT tin ornament and a wind-up puppy that does flips in his shoe. Lynn and I had cherry flavored candy canes in our shoes.

This morning Caleb wanted to put his shoes out on the porch again and Logan wanted to know when "Uncle Saint Nic[k]" would be stopping by again. Apparently there was some confusion...so we spent about twenty minutes on the Saint Nicholas Center website this morning. They have some neat interactive activities and print off crafty projects for the kiddies.
