Santa's came early to our house

One of the worst things about living so far from home is traveling at Christmas. I love to be home and I would hate to miss spending Christmas with my family but I would love to be able to be at my own house on Christmas Eve night. For now, we'll be traveling though. Since we have to travel, we decided to ask Santa to visit our house early.

We have been talking about Santa to Luc. We have read Santa books and seen Santa at the mall. We told Luc last night that Santa was coming while he was sleeping. I don't know how much he understood about that but he was very excited last night.

He was even more excited when he woke up this morning. If you can't understand what he is saying, he kept saying "Santa Claus bring this".

Luc loves these big dump trucks. He has played with one at the playground a few times. As you can see, he was so excited when he saw what was in the box. He was begging Brian to "open please".

For those of you who are in the same situation and prefer for Santa to visit at your own home, this worked out very well for us. Someone asked me what we will do when Luc is old enough to know that Santa usually comes Christmas Eve night. Hopefully, we will be having Christmas Eve night/Christmas morning at our house by then. If not, Santa will just keep making special trips for kids who travel during Christmas.

What a great idea to do it before you leave! Looks like Santa picked out some perfect gifts =)

That was adorable! We have the same dump truck in the backyard. That is a great tradition to start.
