Twas the night before Christmas...

We put out treats for Santa and Aliya insisted we couldn't forget about the reindeer so they got a handful of carrots.  She also wrote Santa a little note thanking him for coming to visit.  It was actually pretty easy to get her and Ari to bed and then the elves went to work hauling all the gifts upstairs to put under the tree and in the stockings.  Then we sat around holding our breath and crossing our fingers that neither of them decided to get up again.
