“Mommy wake up! It snowed, and we have to see if Santa came!” Dante exclaims jumping into my bed in the Michigan J. Frog pajamas and matching slippers Troy bought him to wear last night. I groan as he bounces around me with boundless energy. Eyeing the clock, I see I’ve only had a mere hour of sleep.

For me, Santa most definitely came, and delivered. Troy and I spent the rest of the night on my couch, making out like a couple of teenagers, and even with the lack of sleep, I feel as if I’m floating on air, my feet haven’t touched the ground since he lifted me from the freezing lawn. Dante jumps into my bed, ready with his demands.

“Hurry up! Hurry up!”

I pull him to me from where I lay and squeeze. “Merry Christmas, Peanut. Just let me brush my teeth.”

“Gah, hurry, please!”

“Morning, bud,” Troy pokes his head into my bedroom and Dante turns to interrogate him.

“Did you see? Did Santa come?”

“I think he might have.”
