Christmas this year started about 11:00 PM when Maddie came into my room ready to see if Santa had arrived.  I convinced it that it was still the middle of the night and that he hadn't yet made it to our house and that she had to go back to bed if she wanted him to come.  It didn't take much convincing fortunately.  Back for take two around 6:00 AM we waited for Nonna, Pofo, Aunt Jamie and Aunt Sonja to arrive and boy did those girls cash in.  They are very lucky and very loved.
