Christmas Morning!

The scene right before the kids came in!  Notice the handmade garland and star.  I loved our tree this year.  Ellen made the star with cardboard, yellow paint and gold glitter.

Lucas, 8 1/2 and Ellen, 6

Santa wrapped our presents this year, which made it last longer.  The note on the tree is from Elfie, our Elf, telling them that he would miss them and to be kind to each other.


Ellen loves this diary, that has a lock and key, from SaSa! 

Lucas is still a Lego man!  This huge lego set was on his list.  Thanks, Santa!

A sleeping bag from Grandpa!  Grandpa Dennis got the family a tent for Christmas, so this is the perfect accessory. 


The stockings!  Santa brought fun bathroom stuff.  Lip gloss, fun toothbrush, fun toothpaste, bubble bath, etc.  Ellen said, "We must have been extra good because Santa only brings stockings if you are extra good.  But I didn't think we were extra good because we fight so much."

E and her stocking.

Lucas got dodgeballs from Santa!  How did he know that Dodge ball is Lucas's favorite sport?!

Thanks, SaSa, for the animal drawing book!

What a surprise!  Glow in the dark stars for their rooms!


Towels aren't too fun, hence the fake smile.

Who is gonna clean all this up?

This is how it looked all day!  We were solo this year, which I was worried about, but ended up being fine.  Lucas did Legos most of the day and Ellen did arts and crafts.  Jeff and I watched football, dozed on the couch, cooked and played.
