Celebrating Christmas

 We did have a lovely Christmas Day for us.  Magical things happened the night before, and I KNOW I took pictures, but the tree and stocking photos have vanished and I cannot find them.  So pretend you see glorious pictures of the tree and my beautiful stockings.

I love having oder kids.  We negotiate the wake up time the night before.  They lobbied for a 6am go-out-to open-stockings time and an 8am wake up everyone time.  It was lovely.  Katie had arrived at 9:30pm on Christmas Day, so most of the kids were out late picking her up.  Sleeping in was nice and some of the children needed to be awakened at 8!

Then we opened the loot and it was quite enjoyable.  The kids had picked out (multiple!) gifts for each other and were excited to see how their thoughtful selections were received.  It was fun to have Katie with us as well.

Rylee enjoyed the festivities.

Josh has gone vegan, so his candy options were limited. He was thrilled with the candy cane.... and the cool socks. 

Of course we needed  picture of Levi under the tree.

And he may have been photobombed. 

Check out Delaney's awesome Olaf leggings!!

Sometimes I think I am funny!  Callie loves to make Yakisoba, so I got her a giant container of yakisoba sauce.

 She was more impressed with other gifts. 

Katie enjoyed the loot-fest as well. 

Marian received things that made her happy. 

This just cracked me up, Marian peering deeply into the gift bag. 

Spoiler Alert: It was this sweet Llama Onesie! 

And who doesn't love this cute face?! 

 She is trying to guess what is in the wrapping. (She was wrong!)
