'Twas The Night Before Christmas...

And all through the place
four feet and two knees around the house they did race

We made Chex Mix with Grandma, played chess, baseball, and blocks
While waiting for Santa to fill up our socks.

We started with dinner, we ate that ham fast,
then left glitter for reindeer and oats on the grass.

The boys had dessert- a blue Jello with fish
An easy, fun bedtime was all that we wished.

The kids all opened a traditional present of PJ's
then headed for the tub- always a favorite of TJ's.

Snug in their jammies and clean through and through
the kids made a plate for Santa and crew

After singing some carols all warm in their beds
the boys fell asleep with Christmas dreams in their heads

We did the "Santa stuff"- completing the ruse
Then crawled into bed too excited to snooze.
