And not a creature was stirring not even a hamster except for the sound of the Jaa, Jaaaaa, Jeeehhhh, Heeehh, Ooink, oink of someone playing Angry Birds- Mom and Dad couldn't wait to nestle their little mouse tight in his bed. But the little bugger couldn't stop tossing and turning and when St. Nicolas was heading for their roof, Riiiiiiinnnnggg, Riinnnnnggg, the the night was silent no more.
In short since we were side tracked by a restless little mouse who couldn't fall back asleep, we had to wait until way past midnight to make sure Santa would find the wrapping paper. The LEGOs had some serious competition this year and that competitor came in the form of birds. Yeap! Angry Birds gave the LEGOs a run for their money, literally. Amazon got the majority of Santa's business this year. Enjoy the pictures, there are two separate slide shows on this page; dont forget to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page.

What took us the parents by surprise was the enthusiasm with which the Angry Birds plush pillow was received by Nicolas; he's been carrying it around since he discovered it, the Kindle Fire and the last minute present containing a simple boombox with a special feature _USB plug- of being able to plug in a memory stick/mp3 player and that can also play CD-RW's. Jason loves that little boombox because now he doesn't have to cut music onto a permanent CD-R unless he wants to make the tunes permanent.
From the neigbor's, the military family, he received a LEGO game. We've played it already.
Picture of Nicolas with the Angry Birds he crafted with wooden balls from Michaels, paints and brushes. He crafted those to create his own challenges using the Melissa and Doug wooden castle pieces he's had since he was a todler. His imagination and creativity is always at hight speed.
He had just woken up He flew down that flight of stairs like a torpedo and I missed the photo opp. Crikey!

The Kindle FireNotice the beer cans that Santa left empty after Rudolph and the rest of his crew drank them whatever keeps them going, I don't mind. He did eat the cookies but he washed them down with milk. That's my kind of Santa.

Jason opening one his presentsLou, this photo is for you. He won't let me photograph him unless I remind him his photos are for you.
Jason all out of energyI bet he's relieved it's all done. He can go rest for the day now.
Lou, we sent him to bed after Nicolas was all done opening presentsHe worked all night to clear the ground floor for Santa and his crew. I had already retrieved the wrapping paper for Santa and his elves. Cookies for Santa and beer for the thirsty reindeer were also out on the table.
He is not posingI think he fell asleep during the commotion
