Christmas Day came bright and early for us! But I think Santa had just enough time to get to our house before the kids woke up!
The kids know that they can't come upstairs until we are awake and have everything set. So they were patiently waiting for us but were barely holding in the excitement! We lined them up in order on the stairs before we let them come up one at a time.
Once we all gathered in the front room, everyone found their stockings and started to dig in. We love to see each of the kids open up their gifts so after stockings are done we take turns opening a present at a time. It makes it so fun for everyone to see and enjoy every gift! We started with the sibling gifts which are always the most fun for each of them to open. Then we got to Santa's and mom and dad's gifts. It was a fun, easy and magical morning for all of us to be together! Hightlight gifts: Rease- rollerblades, Rhen - Harry Potter books, - Liev - baseball glove, Keen - Operation the game, Beck - magnet tiles, Desh - toy motor scooter. We also got each of the kids a hammock to use in the basement and for the summer time. They were super excited about that! Josh got me a pair of Bose earphones which I love!! And I got josh a new backpack that he has been wanting. All in all, we had a great day with awesome gifts being exchanged.
Each of the kids got XL beanie boos which are super cute and huge!!!
And we also got the boys a lego table with a huge bin of legos. When we bought them, this was the exact picture we had in mind...Love all of them working hard on building an awesome creation!
Later in the day Grammie and Papa Losee came to visit and see all our fun gifts. And then we enjoyed watching a basketball game, playing dodgeball at the church and eating lots and lots of pie and leftovers. Most of all we loved being together and enjoying family time! We love our Savior and always remember that it's His birthday we are celebrating. Merry Christmas to you all!
