He actually stopped by our house before his big trip!

Yep, that is right! Santa made a quick stop at our house at 4 p.m. to tell say hello to the girls! He even brought by some small gifts for them.

The girls went nuts! They were screaming and jumping and couldn't believe that Santa would actually stop by their house before he took off on his sleigh trip around the world!

He told them that if they were good, he would be back that night to deliver their presents! And they must have been good, because later that night... Caroline and I heard Santa outside her window. He was shaking his sleigh bells and telling Rudolph to be quiet. Then next thing we knew, he was inside our home and walking down the stairs to our tree. Caroline and I crept quietly over the staircase and actually saw his back as he put the presents under the tree!

Caroline was so excited... she ran back to her room, so he wouldn't see her and fell back to sleep dreaming of what he had left behind under the tree!
