Christmas day was very fun, filled with lots of presents, playing, and too much good food...just what you'd hope for.
 |
| Christmas Eve right before these elves headed to bed. |
 |
| Jamie got two rolls of masking tape, a magnifying glass, a half dollar, a bag of chocolate coins, an orange, and a candy cane in his stocking. He also got a construction Lego set and a baby doll (that he had asked for). I was a little frustrated when I could only find really girly dolls, not knowing if he would care whether it was a boy or a girl. I finally got one that had blue clothes...and then he decided it was a girl and named her Sally. I guess it didn't matter after all! |
 |
| Jacob had in his stocking an orange, a bag of chocolate coins, a candy cane, a box of chunky crayons, a new cup, and Duck & Goose Colors. He also got a Duplo construction set and some new play-doh. |

 |
| breakfast was overnight baked French toast with berries and whipped cream, plus bacon, orange juice, and gingerbread coffee |
 |
| cute, cute Jamie made Peter Rabbit a gift this year (a little pillow that he sewed himself!). He helped Peter open it. |
 |
| time to open gifts! |
 |
| one of Jamie's very favorites!! He wore this almost all day. |
 |
| On a whim I picked up these $3 knock-off lightsabers when I saw them in the dollar section at Target. They were a HUGE hit and have probably been the single most-played-with toys from Christmas. |
 |
| Jamie's gift to Daddy. |
 |
| my gift to Thomas...He was a little jealous of the boys' stockings when I made them, so I made him his own personalized one too. |
 |
| Jamie's gift from the cousin exchange was a set of Darth Vader pajamas. He decided they were a dress-up instead. Put together with the cape and mask he already had and one of the lightsabers I bought, he now has a complete Darth Vader outfit. |
