Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
the babies were stirring and even the cat. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, and mommy and daddy finally tucked us into bed (after much rocking).
Now that the boys were nestled all snug in their beds, mommy and daddy settled in for a quick bedtime nap. When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, Bernd sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. When, what to our wondering eyes should appear, but a miniature sleigh and eight tinny reindeer.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!
When the boys arose they found just what they wanted, musical toys and two chairs a rocking. The chairs were stuffed with warm winter clothes and great items for seven month old fingers and toes. The boys played and played until their mid morning nap were they got to dream of toys dancing in their heads.
Merry Christmas. We hope everyone enjoyed the holidays. Here are a few pictures of our Christmas morning. The boys had a blast learning how to open gifts.
