Olivia loved her big present. She asked Santa for three things. A scooter, a yo-yo, and a top. She got two out of three, not remembering she asked for the third thing.
Jorja struggled opening gifts after seeing her cozy coupe. She kept saying "goodbye" and driving off. We kept having to coax her to open any other presents. She loves her little car. She cleaned it over and over with a wash rag telling us she had to go wash her car. It was stinking cute!
Here is the rest of the family enjoying the morning. Jaye loved his cute gifts and Santa spoiled him rotten. He was so excited with everyone around and was fun to watch.
Josh's big gift from Santa was an ipod shuffle and a carving kit. The kids gave him ten pounds of wood to start carving. He was pleasantly surprised!
Jaye and Jorja actually are playing nice together some times. It was great to see them sharing the car together. Especially since Jorja was so in love with it.
Grandma Taylor spent the day with us. Which is ALWAYS wonderful! She even stayed till almost ten o'clock at night to play games with us. She taught us a new card game 3-13 and we played it most of the day. She made the girls these great hats! The love them and they were so cute wearing them around. Josh was jealous and asked if grandma could make him one too! How wonderful to have such a special hand made gift from their Great Grandma Taylor. '
The yo-yo... it broke the next day. But, got well used before it did.
We sat around the table a lot Christmas day. Eating a delicious breakfast, then playing card games, followed by a divine dinner and more card games. It was perfect! We grazed on goodies all day long and enjoyed each others company.
Blake and Lindz went home to nap and when they came back over we opened a last gift from mom. These very fun marshmallow guns. We had a delightful marshmallow fight before dinner. They launched across moms big room with ease! Even the little kids got one to defend themselves... but spent most of the time eating all the ammunition off the floor.
The dirty work of preparing dinner!
Hmm... I think both my brothers need hair cuts!
It was a good day! Thanks everyone for making it so memorable. I love you Family!
But... Christmas is not over just yet!
