Finally . . .

 . . . the night before has made it here.

We're so excited for morning. And surprisingly, Vanessa hasn't gotten up once since putting her to bed. It's a common situation right now that Vanessa is up several times after bedtime. Cutting out naps hasn't helped. It's obvious that she's sleep deprived. But today, after a weekend of waiting on Mommy and Daddy run around, she's finally ready to rest. And just in time. She's just curious and has to share. Her imagination runs wild. But not tonight. She happily ate a peanut butter sandwich before bed (hope it fills her tummy all night long!!!) and Zane had ravioli. Daddy read The Night Before Christmas, and we had milk. We'll share the True meaning in the morning!) Zane knows something is up.
Zane [In a deep, rough and gruff voice]:  Yeah, Santa, you better fill my stockin'! . . . What are we doin'? Why are we doin' it . . . ?
Vanessa [flashing biggest cheesy smile]: Yeah, Santa, I made these cookies for you . . .
