Christmas Back at Home

Poppa picked us up from the airport and after a quick stop at Chick Fil A to pick up lunch we made it back home and Nani was waiting for us.  
The kids were anxious to see if Santa had also made a stop in San Diego and were very excited to see that he had!  He even left a note that Joseph read aloud to everyone letting us know how pleased he was with them filling up their cribs for baby Jesus by doing kind deeds for others and he also let them know that Jingle made it safely back to the North Pole and that she looks forward to coming back to our family next year.  Santa even left the fireplace doors open so our house was a little chilly when we returned and he left a few more gifts under the tree!!
 Julia was beyond thrilled for her ballerina jewelry box!
 Nani and Poppa passed their presents out to everyone, too, and of course they hit the jackpot with all of them!  We especially love our "Home" ornament that she gave to all of us symbolizing that all 4 of the delaMontaigne kids are back living in California now.  We are so blessed!
Ella lucked out and got an awesome airplane for her dolls.
 A frozen karaoke machine for Julia-how fun!!! 
 A pogo stick for Joseph and a piggy bank for Charlotte!
 Today is Poppa's birthday so we are so grateful for him for sharing this chaotic day with us and we were so happy to be home to give him big birthday hugs on his special day!  
After Nani and Poppa left we cleaned up a bit but we were all asleep by 7:30 that night and slept a glorious 11 hours!  It was amazing!
