The 3 Santas



Our Christmas was going to be a humble one, this year . I even planned that we have a Wise man theme going on our first tradition of getting only three gifts to open, per person and ....Well the 3 Big Santas didn't let that happen.


Now Lana knows all about Santa....UH-OH

Santa #1 ~ Daddy ( Santa #1 Elf") worked on his gift to Lana no kidding for 5 hours on Christmas Eve. We didn't see the fine print on the box that said "Some assembly required" Boy that was an understatement. We had a "lack of sleep" hangover on Christmas morning.

This is Gift #1 (some assembly required)











Santa #2 ~ This one came to our house on Christmas Eve with a couple boxes of Gifts. The person dressed up like Santa's Elf only answered my surprised questions on who, what and why with this..."Just know someone in your ward was thinking of you...." Lana and Baby Tali scored CHA-CHING with a beatiful hand made dollhouse...dollhouse accessories to go inside, very nice Christmas story books, a beautiful winter coat for both girls , 3 preschool games, a huge tin of cookies, candy canes, and Wilton cookie cutters for me ( I claimed them cause I'm the only one that can bake) an ornament...ect. The gifts were very personalized and I have a feeling I know this mysterious Santa very well but yet no names have come forward...We felt really blessed.





This is the Huge gift # 2




Santa * 3 ~ I had less than an idea my Mom and Dad had another HUGE Christmas SURPRISE waiting for us later on that evening. Mom AKA: Granma ~had prepared all the bells and whistles from Amazingly beautiful hand stitched keepsakes to a very huge goodie Bag to gifts and gifts and gifts including clothes and toys for our girls. Thankyou Dad , Thanks Mom! This one of the big gifts #3 for Lana, it included Doll house accessories and princess dolls...Very cool

Man! All this time I never knew. I feel so stupid! Well, it explains a lot. But it was a fun day, and you didn't even get your hand bitten off by a stingray! Thanks for going with us!

Sounds like you had a great Christmas. I LOVE your 3 wise men tradition! We basically do the same kind of thing. I really want Christmas to be about Christ, not Silly Old Santa!
