We drove through a huge storm to get home Christmas Eve. We watched Santa's progress on dad's phone just to make sure we wouldn't miss him. When we got home he was still in Canada so we got in bed quick. The kids left Santa chocolate milk and cookies. The reindeer got an apple and carrot sticks.
The kids woke up to their stockings stuffed...
A note from Santa....
And gifts under the tree...
Before opening gifts we read the Nativity together as a family and gave our annual gift to Jesus.
Before Randy went to bed Christmas Eve he had to shovel the driveway. He came in feeling achy and sick. He woke up the same way. Poor Randy laid on the couch and in bed most of the day with the flu.
Harrison loved helping everyone open their gifts. He loved every minute.
Claire trying on dad's duck hunting coat.
Claire wanted a real puppy for Christmas. This will have to do!!! I can't do a dog again.
We spent the day relaxing, playing games, and playing with their new toys.
Harrison was so fun this year. He loved opening gifts and got so excited to see what was inside. He was so cute.
It was such a whirlwind of activities smashed into a few days. We were tired. We loved every minute spent with family and loved ones.
