On Christmas Eve, we did our usual pre-Santa tradition: cookies & milk for Santa, carrots & a bowl of water for his reindeer.

Catie was so happy on Christmas morning. She got everything that was on her list for Santa, and then some.

At one point, she said, “This is the BEST! CHRISTMAS! EVERRRR!!!” Considering that I thought it would be the worst Christmas ever (the first one post-separation), I’ll take that as ridiculously high praise.

Lucy seemed a little confused by it all, but she had fun too.

Plus, you know, there was this. Which made me laugh until I cried.

I mean, it’s a Foofa hat. Come ON. That’s just funny.

Hope you all had a nice Christmas too.
