We put the lights on that night and waited until Saturday morning to do the rest. Daddy's helpers never left his side. :)
They each got gold coins, a book and c.d.
I didn't realize that the children all thought they would get new slippers. Some years I have done that- traded out their old slippers for new slippers. This year I thought they all still fit and didn't get new ones and everyone ended up dramatically telling me how their slippers were all too small. (and they really were) :) We did end up getting new slippers after all.
Oh and I almost forgot St. Nicholas brought the children the Nativity Flipzle. It just didn't arrive until Monday. :)
We read an out-of-print biography on St. Nicholas that I found in a used book store. Then we watched this video.
We also read several other stories including this one-
And one of my all-time favorite Christmas books-
By the way if you are looking for great Advent/Christmas C.D.'s- here are my favorites:
The children absolutely LOVE Classical Kids Christmas- it's bits of songs and the stories and legends behind them.
And of course you probably already know about the gorgeous Advent C.D.- Advent at Ephesus. I listen to this every night while I'm cooking.
This is my absolute favorite Christmas C.D.- all Christian hymns and all GORGEOUS!
And I love the Sister Servants and always love their beautiful C.D. at Christmas time!
And now a few Sunday pictures-

Frick and Frack's expressions while helping Daddy decorate the tree are priceless.
These are the days you will always remember. And at my age, miss!
