2. The only way to truly see Baby Jesus is to Communion line-jump and run right up to the nativity scene. You can top it all off by yelling: "Mommy! I see Baby Jesus!" when you've been corralled back to the pew.
3. Despite Santa's efforts to find THE perfect gift, the beloved favorite will be a $5 flashlight.
4. Orange Julius tastes better if you add the sugar.
5. Santa comes even if you've been naughty, and he remembers stuff you forgot to write on your list. What a guy!
6. However, he doesn't come again on Christmas night if you missed seeing him on Christmas Eve.
7. In a few years, Christmas Vacation is gonna get some big laughs. Sassy LOVED the opening scene with the tree on the car. And we decided that was probably enough for now. . . :)
8. Sister's presents are always cooler, "shared" gifts aren't always shared, and even if you have the exact same gift, there will STILL be fighting.
9. Digital cameras used by little people = being caught in some not-so-flattering shots. Note to self: Lock the door when changing to avoid future pictures without pants. . . .
10. Despite their name, bathtub crayons do not easily wipe off of the tub. Thanks, Santa. Not one of your better purchases.
11. It's ok to have M&Ms before breakfast.
12. In the future, Santa should drink EVERY last drop of milk because it's fair game the next morning. Yes, she tipped it up. GROSS.
13. We were spoiled with a 7:30 wake-up call. (I heard of some kids who were up at 2 am! WHAT?!) Anyway, girls, just know that you're setting the bar high. Next year, we're aiming for 8.
14. The best way to end the day (and melt Mom's heart): "Come here, I want to cuddle wif you on da couch."
15. Building our own family traditions with Sassy and Stinkus is a pretty amazing gift.
Love it! And a word from experience, get bath PAINT, it really does clean off easily (unlike the crayons you have to scrub so hard!)
