Christmas Eve was really fun for us this year! Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle David and Aunt Linnea all came over for a little roast, cookies and a game of uno! We visited and played an insanely long game of Uno, then the kids got to unwrap their Christmas pjs. The girls, at least, should be able to wear theirs through next Christmas - I may have over-sized them.
After our couple of visitors left, we read the Luke Christmas story and sent the kids to bed. They went down very well, I guess with the excitement and fear that they might miss out if they stayed up.
I snuck downstairs just after a jolly old elf visited and saw that Santa had been very kind. All the kids got something they wanted while still keeping Mom and Dad's life here simple.
Evie got a new book/game for her vreader.
Lizzie got a new pony - she's very into My Little Pony right now.
Carson got a train. Oh, how he loves trains! This one also has a remote, but batteries wore out really fast. He doesn't care, though; he loves his train!
All three of them also got a small doodle board, which got put into their Sacrament meeting bags. Stockings were pretty simple, too, with fruit and candy as well as chapsticks, socks, a small toy each, and toothbrushes.
Santa couldn't finish, but tried very hard.
