My daughter is not a fan of long car rides. Our saving grace is music. As they say, music soothes the savage beast.

What happened next was truly astounding. We set the laptop webcam on record and went to bed. This is the incredible footage the children saw Christmas morning…Click Here: Santa’s Visit The kids were floored! Our son’s reaction was priceless. It nearly brought me to tears. Ah, to be young and to believe… That brilliant performance was given by my talented bro-in-law. Julian, thank you for making such a sweet memory for our kids (and for eating 16 cookies in the process). Julian had to step in because my husband, who came up with the video idea, could NOT perform without causing us to collapse in fits of[…]
