Ahh, Christmas Morning. It just doesn't get better than this! As I mentioned in the previous post, these crazy kids had a pretty wild night on Christmas Eve, but everyone woke up happy and excited to see that their presents were all still there, despite many threats uttered during the night. Lol. Grandma and Grandpa Johnson came over to join us as usual, which we love.
Of course the kids all knew that Santa had brought them each a Huggables animal for their stockings. They told us all about them in the wee hours of the night.
I love this pic of the typical Christmas chaos. Oh, and want to play a fun game? See how many pictures Dasher's butt is in. I swear he's in almost all of them...
Harry was perfectly content with the chocolate he discovered in his stocking.
He was also pretty pleased with the Jeep that Santa brought for him and Graham!
The kids all draw names to buy each other gifts. It's so fun to see what they pick for each other and to see their excitement when they give their gifts.
Sometimes the givers are far more excited than the receivers! Haha!
Santa brought Penelope a darling new dollhouse.
Wyatt and Lucy both got these cool RC dinosaurs from the Big Man.
Of course Dasher wasn't forgotten about.
Graham got more Legos! This kid LOVES to play Legos and will keep himself happy for hours. HOURS. I get an excellent return on my investment with these suckers!
Waiting patiently for her turn to open a present.
More waiting.
I love the faces on this one! Penelope was so excited for this one. I can't even remember what it was called...oh, a Pomsie. Yes. She loved this one.
She played with it for a couple of days at least. ;)
Wyatt got a sweet new electronic chess game. We may or may not have had some fights over who's turn it was to play...
And Lucy's big gift from her parents was a locking cabinet FULL of everything needed to make just about any kind of slime. Ugh. This was a hard one for me to swallow, but every time I asked her what she wanted she'd tell me three things: a puppy, a phone, or a slime kit. I figured I could make one of those dreams come true. The locking cabinet was the ONLY way I could concede on this one. She was ecstatic.
Sweet little Harry didn't really care much for anything other than his treats. We had to force him to open presents and by the end the kids just did it for him. Haha.
Another great gift...train tracks. Graham got some pretty cool new pieces.
Wyatt got tickets to go see The Wizard of Oz with mom and dad.
And the girls got tickets to go see Wicked with all the aunties and girl cousins.
The boys got a cute tool set that lasted less than a week, but was really cute while it lasted!
See the leaf blower in mid-fall? This would be why it didn't last very long!
Spencer's brother Alex just adores Harry and bought him several little gifts, including a baby boom speaker for him to carry around and listen to his music. Hahaha! He absolutely loves music and this little speaker is just perfect! It has a little carabiner so we can hook it right up to him. He loves it probably more than any other gift. Possibly even more than his treats. :)
Not sure what Graham was upset about here, but he quickly perked up once we got out on the road.
It was so darn funny to watch Harry get whiplashed every time Graham hit the gas! Aren't they the cutest in their little hand knit hats from our sweet neighbor??
We had a wonderful Christmas day. We spent lots of time playing games and checking out all the fun new toys. We spent the evening at Grandma and Grandpa Johnson's again and then let the kiddos sleep under the Christmas tree that night, as per tradition.
