I know this is getting to be a bit of a theme, but every time I turn around, Hannah loses another tooth. She lost the latest one Christmas Eve, which meant the Tooth Fairy and Santa both visited our house last night. It actually was a reunion for them because they both visited our house last year, too, in honor of one of Emma's lost teeth.
Traditions here are slightly different. Santa usually brings the children's toys in a Santa Sack and leaves them at the foot of each child's bed. We use a less official version in the form of a pillowcase. They are given strict instructions to not look in their bags until everyone is awake and they all bring them in to Mom and Dad's bed and open them all together. Esther arrived in our room this morning around 3 AM. Fortunately she was coaxed back to sleep until her sisters came in around 6:30.
Later in the day we will all open our gifts from each other and have a picnic if the weather cooperates.
