Christmas at Home

In keeping with the tradition I started last year I wrote Ross' list down and put it in an ornament to save. I just love this idea and am so glad I ran across it.

Daddy and the kids did the usual thing of getting gas and coming back to pick me up so I set up Santa. Santa was a wee bit tired as the gifts took quite a few hours to put together, but they are so cute and worth it!

We got home from Grady and the kids ran inside. Avery immediately went to her kitchen. Ross just kind of took it all in.

Then he spotted his helmet and football uniform. Definitely one of his favorite presents.

He wears the helmet all the time.

(with my camera phone) - His full uniform. He wears the jersey at least once a week.

 

Everyone went through their stockings and Avery got her sunglasses, Minnie slippers, and a pack of Skittles. She was totally set.

Both kids also got microphones b/c our other one went kapoot.

Styling. Last year's Santa gift is still a hit.

Another favorite was this awesome pop-up tent. It is so great. Super quick to put it and if Mommy wasn't such a goober I'm sure it would be super fast to put away but I can't ever get it to do in my first 10 attempts. Still an awesome gift!

Break time for a little tea.

Game time. It is obviously a dangerous game and the helmet was needed.

She realized you could take the sink out and had the best time putting stuff in it - like a garbage disposal of sorts.

Operation.

Calm down Olivia.

Then they hit a wall. If I recall it was 9:30 so after a busy day it didn't take long to go to sleep.
