Here are the kids making cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve. (Based on what he left the next morning, Santa must've really liked those cookies.) =)
The kids also decorated gingerbread houses that afternoon.
Christmas morning officially began around 7 a.m. when the lights in our bedroom suddenly came on. And then the music started. Unbenownst to us, the kids had been working on a song just for Christmas morning. They took a Jonas Brothers song and wrote new lyrics for it - all about trying to get parents out of bed on Christmas morning. Courtney was on drums, Alyssa provided the vocals, and Jordan rounded out the band on electric guitar. (And yes, he brought the amp.) It was quite the way to wake up...
Here's Courtney with her Webkinz llama (a.k.a Joe). Don't you love their matching Santa hats?
Jordan with some of his Christmas haul. What would Christmas be without a new Lego set?
Here's Alyssa with her new organizer for all of her teacher stuff. And Santa left surprises in every drawer.
Here's Jordan posing with his marshmallow gun. You stick a marshmallow in the top and blow, and it shoots out the other end. I found them at a craft show and got the family a complete set. I think we'll be finding marshmallows for weeks...
Alyssa with her Webkinz (Spot, Pork Chop, and Courtney)

Looks like a fun Christmas morning. We're jealous of all the "sleeping in"--we're still not there at our house. :) Oh well, it gives us something to look forward to. Happy New Year!
Is that one of those Zhu Zhu pets?
This may sound dumb - but I never realized you baked those cookies and then add the hershey's kisses right after. I knew you probably couldn't back them together, but I never stopped to think how it worked. Your post was very informative. :)
Looks like a great Christmas!
I'm still waiting for the kids christmas song to appear on Youtube! Fun, Fun, Fun.
How fun! And I spotted a marshmallow shooter before Christmas -- I should have purchased it -- what a fun gift =)
So fun! Looks like everyone was thrilled and happy!
A Webkinz llama? Too cute. Please have your kids record their song and post in on your blog! I'm dying to hear it!
We did have the kids perform the song again later (when we were fully awake) to get it on camera. Sadly, however, the kids have forbidden us to post the Christmas song on the blog. Not even the lyrics. =)
