As tradition goes, we ALWAYS make cookies for Santa and the kids each decorate one to put on his cookie plate. So here they are with their cookies for Santa. They are always so proud of how they've decorated them. It's so much fun to watch their creativity too. I love it.
Also with tradition, the kids get new pj's every Christmas, so here they are showing off their Christmas pajamas before I make them go to bed.
The bounty under the tree after Santa has come and put out all the presents and stockings. Yes, the tree is in the dining room. After we bought our new couch last spring, it pretty much takes up the whole front room.....so out went the table and up went the tree. I kinda liked it though...the clean up was so much easier! I didn't have to vacuum a bunch of pine needles and clog it up. It all just swept up and it was gone. I may do this again next time.
Grace and her petshop adoption center from Santa.
Joe and Gary playing with "Rocky", Joe's walking, talking dump truck. He's pretty cute. Joe loved it, but I think the big boys, aka dad and uncles, liked it just as much! It's a great present if you have boys.
Sierra finally got her DSi.....she saved for a year for it! It's one of those things that I was not going to pay for. It's a spendy little thing and I knew that she'd take care of it if she knew how much it really cost and with how long it took her to save up for it. But she did it and was so proud of herself and she LOVES it.
Grandpa B. and Aunt Geena came over to watch the kids open presents that morning and made breakfast with us. It was lots of fun.
Emma got new twin baby dolls and new baby stuff for them. She was so cute playing with them!
That afternoon we went over to my mom's house. It was really good to just be together......hard, but really good.
