I am breaking Christmas into a few posts. This one is for Christmas day! We agreed as a family to try to keep Christmas on the small side. We did gift exchanges for the adults and for the kids, but there were still a TON of presents.
Owen had some very cute custom wrapping from Claire, who had him for the kid gift exchange. He is very into buses right now.
Owen's pile from Santa is on the right with the striped stocking, the tricycle, and the monkey pillow pet. I made this stocking for Bo when he was the only baby in the family, but he has stockings that match his brothers now so Owen got to use it.
Owen was one of the first to get up on Christmas morning and we held him off, but he went straight for his new bike when it was time. We bought this tricycle for our house since mom and dad have had one just like it for a while and he loves to get pushed around on it at their house. His feet don't quite reach the pedals yet, but he says, "Outside ride bikes!"
Digging for loot from Santa.
I like this picture because you can see all seven kids. We never got them lined up for a photo in their matching PJs, but here they all are. Can you find all seven?
A ball!
A bus!
Lined up for Christmas breakfast of egg casserole, sticky buns, fruit salad, and bacon. Yum!
Nana and baby Charlee.
Other fun memories from the day:
1) Bo and Sam playing with their toy guns. Bo pointing the gun into the window of the dollhouse Kate and Claire were playing with.
2) Kate playing with one of the guns while dressed in her super cute girly outfit from Chad's parents.
3) All of the kids playing with the ribbon wands and the danger associated with kids wildly waving plastic sticks around.
4) Opa tearing up when he opened his new weather station.
5) Nana tearing up when she opened her new wooden tree swing.
