Surprisingly, Santa did some to our house! (Santa was able to find a good deal on a gymnastics bar, 2 days before Christmas!) Steve and I have kind of combined our childhood Santa traditions for our home. In his, Santa left one big unwrapped gift....in mine, Santa wrapped all gifts. So we do both. I think it is more fun for them to open gifts then to just have all Santa gifts unwrapped under the tree like some family Santa's do. Like Steve's family growing up, Santa gave one big gift and all others were from the parents....a lot of people do this b/c they want 'credit' for buying the gifts. I get it! I just figured we have a limited number of years to embrace Santa, so we might as well enjoy it. I'll take credit for it later down the road when they understand more about money and how much Christmas can cost for Santa and parents! :)
She plays 'police' with the boys at school, so she loved this gift!
They both got ipads.
and new headphones.
The ONE thing she has been asking for all along....a poop emoji pillow!!!
American Girl (or the Target version) stuff is taking over our house!
Poop emoji pillows, ipads and headphones for both. Piper also got a poop emoji blanket!
We almost lost Jordan in the wrapping paper! :)
The adults do a white elephant gift exchange also, Jerry got a container full of koozies, a pair of socks and some Hershey's kisses!
Holly got some Poopouri and 'I-might-have-touched-my-genitals hand sanitizer! :)
Daddy got a cutting board that Steve made (and etched/burned the #8 into)
Cousins!
......then to bed!
A great, wonderful, fun, exhausting Christmas!
