Sugar cookies baked by the kids and egg nog (Aiden's insistence) were set out for the jolly old elf. The kids opened their Christmas jammies (Aiden was disappointed it was only pyjamas) and we tried to read Christmas stories in our bed. Amelia was all hopped up on sugar and all she wanted to do was go downstairs to the "cookies and chockit (chocolate)! The kids went to bed reasonably well for such an exciting night. Aiden asked to sing Christmas songs. His favorite song is the "Dreidel Song" (I know it's a Hanukkah song but I don't have the heart to tell him that) and Amelia did a wonderful round of Jingle Bells. Parent/Elf duty took way longer than expected and Dale and I didn't crawl into bed until after midnight.

I think Aiden taught Piper the "Dreidel Song", because she has also been singing it all week! Paige will even get into it and chime in the part about "clay". I think our children are becoming very cultured. :)
