The Night Before Christmas

I turned 36.

And we prepared for Santa's arrival at our home.



Buchela was in charge of putting a cookie and a cup of milk under the tree for the big guy.



Dinbit was in charge of resisting the urge to spill the milk and eat the cookie.



I helped write a note.



Buchela fretted over it before he delivered it under the tree.



Then he decided Santa needed a bib - so he put that under the tree.



He was very concerned about making Santa happy.



Then, while he was putting on his pijamas, it occurred to him Santa will need a stool to sit on!

So he added that.

Paced around for a while and went to sleep.



It is Christmas morning now.

The kiddos are still asleep.

Santa came and left beautiful presents and a note.



Gosh wow! Look!

Santa speaks Amharic.
