MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! The kids woke up Christmas morning to big red santa bags. Inside they found Wii games and baby dolls! This is exactly what they had asked for and they were all thrilled that Santa listened! They found Mario Kart and Outdoor Adventure and UDraw and a couple others. Kaylee found a baby doll that came with clothes. She fell in love with it and named it Baby Lauren. She is such a little mother. Dawson found a nice Baby Gap winter coat. It fit him perfect! The kids also got Christmas Eve jammies that they are all wearing: Cooper got batman, Jaxton got star wars, and Kaylee got penguin ones, and Dawson got firetruck jammies.
Cooper's favorite present from Mom & Dad was his Spiderman web shooter. It came with real web fluid (similar to silly string) and also a water container that can be reused and shoot water from his wrist. Its a fun contraption!
Kaylee's favorite toy from Mom & Dad was her phone. She loves to play with daddy's and mommy's phones. So now she has her own. And she loves it! Some days she will look around and ask us (just the same way that we do ) "Where's Kaylee's phone?" I ask that about my own phone at least 3 or 4 times a day. Its cute that she treats her phone with just as much ownership as we do with ours.
Jaxton's favorite toy from Mom & Dad was his new lego set. He will never tire of getting lego sets. So after presents and breakfast he disappeared upstairs in the toy room till he had finished yet another untouchable masterpiece. Once those lego sets are built, he says they are off limits. No one can touch them or play with them. He puts them on display for everyone to see. He is always so proud of what he builds!
It was a nice relaxing Christmas Day, enjoying our presents. That evening, we began something that I hope will remain a tradition for future Christmases. We had a Christmas CD and printed off lyrics to the songs on the CD. Then, we gathered with 2 other families at a retirement home and sang Christmas carols in the hallways and at residents' doors. It was a lot of fun and I know we brought Christmas cheer to individuals that were alone on the evening of Christmas Day. Even the kids enjoyed it and sang along. What a great tradition!
