Twas The Morning of Christmas...

Twas the morning of Christmas and all through the house, just me and my pets were stirring, we were quiet as a mouse.

The stockings were filled to their rims with presents and hopes that they would be opened for everyone to cherish.

With Nana at work and Papa and Auntie still in bed. Olivia fast asleep, I knew the dogs had to be fed.

I couldn't wait another minute as 6:30 came around. I creeped up the stairs to tell Olivia without making a sound.

"Mommy" she said, "Is it true, is it true. Did Santa really come for me and you?"

I said with a big fat grin on my face, check under your pillow and see if it's the case.

From Santa she found a small letter. A one dollar bill she shouted, nothing could be better.

I said you won't believe what is downstairs. Many gifts for you and for the rest of us it appears!

I rushed down the stairs to get hold of my camera, when Olivia slowly slid down the stairs to see what was the matter.

So surpised was my princess, with thoughts of it all. All these gifts are for me and maybe my doll.

We woke Papa and Auntie up from their naps and told them to come and see perhaps.

We watched Olivia open presents for the next hour or two. It was just as she wanted and didn't forget to say thank you.

I enjoyed this last Christmas all the memories, I wouldn't miss. And to Lexi, all we can give to you is a our far away kiss.

As I lay down my head after along Christmas night. Merry Christmas to all and to all the babies in China sleep tight.
