We had a wonderful Christmas. The kids kept saying it was going to be the best Christmas yet, and it really was. On Christmas morning, everyone slept in, and we went downstairs around 8am to see what Santa brought.
Santa brought digital cameras to the younger crowd and EFY tickets to the older crowd. Plus a stocking each filled with movies, candy, and lots of other good stuff.
The kids all drew names to see who they would be buying a present for. Everyone had to spend their own money on the gift they picked, with a $10 limit.
Eugene picked Isabella, and got her a stuffed horse, as that was the only thing she said Santa was going to bring her! Santa didn't bring her a horse, so it was awesome that Eugene did.
Elvis picked Hayden. As Hayden is a true Star Wars and Lego fan, Elvis settle on a Star Wars Lego t-shirt. It was a great pick.
Hayden picked Callie was got her a pack of knee-high socks. This girl loves socks, especially knee-high ones.
Isabella picked Eugene, she picked him out an American Eagle beanie, nicely done Bells!
And lastly, Callie picked Elvis, and got him a Quicksilver hat. This boy had been asking for a hat for some time, and finally got one.
After we opened up the rest of the gifts, we headed over to my parent's house for more gifts and relaxing with family. It was great to be together, but we missed Heather & Doug and family lots.
We had a relaxing day, and a great meal. Eugene and Austin decided to go for a polar bear swim, while the rest of us stayed cozy warm and dry inside. They lasted in the pool for about 15 minutes. Pretty impressive.

Whoa - a polar bear swim? No thanks! Glad you had a nice Christmas. Now I want to know what was in those enormous rectangular packages wrapped in newsprint for the older boys?
They're just so huge - makes you wonder.
The pool does look like fun, but soooo colddddddd. Come on Summer, get here already.
I love how they all drew names for each other. I think we need to do that next year.
Looks like a really fun Christmas. I am shivering now looking at that pool!
