On Christmas Eve, after church, we picked up some Chinese food to eat at home for dinner. After eating we opened our gifts that we had received in the mail from our relatives in Texas.
Grandma Sharon sent Phoebe a new sewing book, clothes, a purse, and candy. Silas got some candy, and drone, clothes and legos.
Sarah got candy, clothes, earrings, and a purse. Eric received golf balls and a nice sweatshirt. I got some new kitchen dishcloths, towels, and hot pads.
From Bret, Andrea, Kallin, and Ayden the kids got personalized water bottles.
On Christmas morning Silas and Phoebe were the first kids to wake up. They woke up Sarah and finally came into Eric and my bedroom to get us all to go downstairs and open our gifts from each other. We headed downstairs by about 9:00am.
Everyone's stockings were filled with candy, and other goodies.
After looking in our stockings, Eric read us the Christmas story from the Bible and then we opened our gifts from each other that were under our tree.
Silas worked hard to make several folding Christmas cards for all of us.
The first present that the kids opened was one that was for all three of them...a Hoverboard!
There were many fun gifts under our tree this year. Silas got a Red Ryder Daisy BBGun.
Phoebe got a cross necklace from Silas. She gave him some crafting kits and supplies.
Both girls got new soft blankets from us. We had their names embroidered on them too.
Silas got a Perler kit from Sarah. Phoebe gave Sarah a new hat and ear/head band.
Phoebe got some weights from us and Silas got an Atari Flashback game system from us.
I got a fun gift from Eric.
Sarah gave Phoebe a 1500 piece Disney puzzle. Silas gave Sarah a new colorful volleyball.
Eric got a warm new vest from me. Sarah got the white coat and hat she had been wanting from us.
Phoebe was excited to receive some Barbie things and a Lap Harp from us.
After opening our gifts, we tried out the Atari Flashback, tried on some new clothes, lifted some weights, and tried out some of our fun, outside only, gifts.....
Later on in the afternoon we facetimed with family and opened our gifts from all of them.
Thank you family for all of the nice gifts!
While opening gifts from my family we facetimed so that even though we weren't together in person, we could still see each other open presents.
We had a great Christmas day together! Thank you to all of our out of town family for all of the nice presents that you mailed to us this year. We miss you all and are looking forward to seeing you all IN PERSON sometime soon.
