When Santa came early to our house...

This year, Santa heard (through the Elf on the Shelf, a reindeer, the guy at the mall) that we were going to be in Colorado for Christmas morning and understands that it's a $50 checked bag fee for us to bring gifts home from there!  So what did the jolly man do?  Surprised Ethan with an early Christmas morning at our house a few days ahead of all of the other good boys and girls!

Here's the before shot.

The Advent Calendar wasn't quite to December 24th...

But Santa came anyway!  These shots are sort of before shots as well, AFTER Santa came out but BEFORE Ethan tore into it all!

"I wasn't expecting all this when I woke up!"

"And who's better company in my tent/ball pit than...

DADDY!" 

And now the "after" shots...

Whew! 

And yes, while Santa was early, I know I'm very late with Christmas photos.  Better late then never I suppose.
