We had a great Christmas in Connecticut this year. On Christmas Eve, after McKinley came home from her eye appointment with her new glasses, we started our evening with a family picture. Then we played "Trouble" to see who would open their exchange gift first. After the game we opened our exchange gifts. The kids got to play with their gifts while we finished preparing dinner. We had our favorite meal of filet mignon, baked potatoes, rhodes rolls, and slush. After dinner the kids opened their Christmas jammies. Then they were off to bed. The three older kids share a room, so they conspired and snuck in their DS's and ended up playing in their beds. We checked on them at 9:30 and Sawyer was still awake.
Christmas morning we heard stirrings around 6:30. Kent stayed up in their room to curtail their exhuberance and allow Josh to sleep until he was ready to wake up. We didn't want a grumpy baby all day. Just after 8:00 Josh was ready and we went downstairs and opened presents.
The presents this year included:
McKinley- Monster High dolls, clothes, books, earrings, rubber duckies, modeling clay, DS game, stuffed animal.
Sawyer- Beyblade stadium, beyblades, DS game, Wii games, clothes, stuffed animal, book, pokemon cards, board game.
Hayden- Beyblades, beywheelz, DS game, Wii games, clothes, stuffed animal, books, pokemon cards, trashies.
We also replaced my broken computer, yay! We broke down and got a communal mini Ipad this year.
When all the presents were opened we played, watched movies, talked to gradmas and grandpas, and played Headbanz for a few minutes before dinner.
It's been a wonderful Christmas! I loved spending it with my favorite people. We are blessed.
