We decided to start a new tradition this year and have St. Nick visit our house. Ryan did it
when he was growing up and loved it, so we figured the boys would have fun with it too.
Owen was really excited. Right before they went to bed they each ran downstairs, grabbed
a pair of shoes and set them outside their bedroom door. In the morning they woke up to
find a visitor had stopped by overnight and filled their shoes with treats.
I might rethink the placement of the shoes next year, or the time at which they are filled.
While this certain visitor (me) was filling the shoes, Owen happened to hear and yelled out
from the door, "Mom? Did Santa bring candy?" I debated chucking all the candy across the
hall into our room in case he came out, but came up with another plan. I turned off the
hallway light while I walked into his room so it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything
in the hallway. I assured him St. Nick hadn't come yet and he should go back to bed.
Thankfully he did and I...ahem...St. Nick wasn't caught.
