Twas the night before Christmas...

And these kids were excited!

They looked over the presents with care

being sure to decorate the ones that were bare.

When all of the sudden, an elf came to see!

The kids were excited and to find where he might be.

They ran out the door hoping to find that elf,

but instead found three presents stacked high on the shelf.

With wonder and excitement oh what could it be, the paper they ripped revealing special Christmas jammies for three.

Happily they sat by the Christmas tree

for Mama to take their picture in their new Christmas jammies.

Then stories about Jesus were read by their Dad

and reverently they listen about where Jesus laid his head.

The stockings were hung and the cookies were left,

then sweet little children danced off to their beds.

Soon all was quiet in our cozy little house,

the children were dreaming of Star Wars and cars,

make-up and jewelery and a new sparkly blouse.

That Santa we love slid down the chimney real quick,

and left presents for all, that good St. Nick.

"Merry Christmas" he laughed as went back to his sleigh,

and before we knew it, it was soon Christmas day.

The children were happy as they found their new loot,

and that Sammy we love was too darn cute.

Star Wars and treats found by our oldest boy,

cars and books for our baby boy.

Make-up and jewelry made this princess happy

and Santa even gave us our own Guitar Hero!

Then off to Grandma's we went through the snow,

for more Christmas presents and warm breakfast too.

More family we visited, we think they are nice,

then home to play Guitar Hero more than twice.

A Merry Christmas it was with our little friends,

but before we knew it, the day came to an end.

One by one we went off to bed,

with smiles and kisses on each little head.

Then Mama and Daddy crawled into their bed,

"A very Merry Christmas it was!" we each had said.

And a Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
