Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!!
Christmas Eve dinner with Cornish hens, mashed potatoes and the rest of the feast.
Then it was time for everyone to open up their one gift.
My kids are catching on now, it's not really a surprise anymore. lol
New jammies! What an awesome surprise! lol
Before bed we watched the Nativity movie. We did a 12 days of Nativity earlier in the month reading from the scriptures. That was fun too. Then everyone piled into Scott's bedroom for a Christmas Eve sleepover. This just ensures our sneaker outers stay put. That and a card board trapped across the hallway. Scott informed us that every year he has woken up at 1 am, went down to see what Santa brought him and then went back to bed. And then in the morning would tell the girls before they had a chance to see! What a stinker!!
Waiting to go downstairs...
After ripping through their stockings and seeing what Santa brought, we ate some breakfast and then went back downstairs to open up our presents. We usually just get the kids one present and then they each get eachother something too. So most of the excitement comes watching their siblings open the present they got and wrapped for eachother. So cute
Jay saying, "Just what I always wanted!" ...some dinosaur magnets from Grandma and Grandpa. Lol
Scott found a little knitting machine for Hailey all by himself. He found it and brought it to me telling me he thinks Hailey would just love it. So he got it and was so proud. She opened it and was so excited! She has a friend down the street that knits by hand. Hailey said, "no way!? I'M GOING TO RULE THE WORLD!!" haha
Santa brought Scott a lego technic truck with suspension and working headlights and a wench. He doesn't ever ask for help he just digs his head into the instructions and comes up to show his progress. This was just the motor and insides before he got the outside down.
Jay so proud of his little things
The rest of the day we just lived down in the basement watching movies and playing with all the kids new toys and games and just hanging out
Hailey made herself some little leg warmers with her machine ;)
Jay doing a jig dance. That about sums up our Christmas! Awesome! Love this time of year and having an entire month to remember the Savior, his life and his sacrifice for us.
Merry Christmas everyone!
