Joy to the World, and I need a nap!

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house two little boys tried to be as quiet as a mouse. Dressed in their jammies and ready for bed, the Elf on a Shelf book quietly read. A plate full of cookies and milk to enjoy, they left it for Santa from each little boy. The stockings were hung, the tree lights all lit, it was time for bed in just a bit. Asleep they must be for Santa to stop so off to bed they went with a skip and a hop.

The morning dawned early with boys wide awake, well maybe not Ahren, a while it did take. They waited patiently for daddy to say Go, then they knew it would be time for the big Santa show.
There was a little peeking to see what they could, but they did wait quite nicely as little boys should.

Daddy yelled Go and the boys came on out see what they got with a whoop and a shout.


A Spiderman, a shooting gallery, it was all quite amazing! It was still dark outside but our lights were all blazing.
Santa enjoyed the refreshments we left, and I'm sure all the frosting helped add to his heft. 
Levi tried the duck game and got quite the score. The ducks just kept coming, there was more and some  more.
Look here Ahren, look what we got. I can shoot ducks with just one shot.
Ahren tried his hand and thought it great fun. Let's shoot them all with this handy black gun!
Stockings were emptied with a quick turn and shake. The contents were out for all to partake.To be continued....
