A Lovely Christmas Day


On Christmas Eve night, David and I wrapped the bottom of the stairs with Christmas paper so that the girls had to burst through in order to see their presents. Little did I know, that after I went to bed, David stayed up and set up our new tent!

So that's what we saw when we ripped off the paper! We decided to do a "food storage" Christmas this year and buy gifts that helped us to be more prepared. We got a tent, 72 hour kits, and lots of beans and rice and FOOD. The girls got matching sleeping bags with flash lights, which they were pretty excited about.

And we got a few fun items too. Like Kung Fu Panda 1 & 2! See the thrill on his face??

I found a kid's sewing machine for Hazel at a thrift store that I'm hoping to get some use out of over this next year. I bought her a pattern for a doll to go with it.

The girls received their very first sled!

Lottie got her own TAG reader pen with some books. That's been a favorite in our house.

Ellie got a My Little People farm!

The girls had saved up some chore coins to buy gifts for one another. Of course when we went to the store to buy them, they gave some very strong suggestions.

Every year we get each other an ornament that has to do with what we did that year. This year David bought me a pencil for getting two of my articles published. Look at that baby belly poking out!

That afternoon we headed up to Gram and Papa Kevin's for a week with the cousins!
Merry merry Christmas!
