Steve had to work today, so he had to leave around 1:30. This morning we made the Rizzuto meatballs and did a little cleaning in preparation for Santa Clause coming tonight. After Steve left, I watched some Christmas movies with the kids. Mariane watched "A Christmas Carol" for the first time. We also read several books about Christmas like the Polar Express and Twas the Night Before Christmas. Because I kept telling Paul that Santa Claus was coming tonight, he started going around the house looking for him. He was walking all around saying, "Where Santa go?" It was pretty cute, but then when I tried to put him to bed, he did not want to go, because he wanted to "see Claus." He fought with me quite a bit before finally falling asleep.
Now that both kids are asleep, and since Steve is working, it reminds me of the Christmas that he was in Baghdad. It was sad to be away from him then and it is now as well. At least he will get to be here, though, in the morning when the kids wake up and open their presents.
