I'm pretty sure last Christmas was a week ago. This year has gone by way too fast, but here we are again. The kids have been really excited this year. This year we had the boys earn most of the money for the gifts they had to buy. We did a family exchange and an Arrington cousin exchange. In the morning the kids opened a present from Brad and I and each other. They loved starting the day that way, but it made them more excited for that night.
For Christmas Eve we went to Grandma and Grandpa Arrington's house. Kiara put together the game and we did a minute to win it. It was a lot of fun.
Next was home evening. Grandpa read a book. I love that he read to all the kids and that Jacks is so into him reading it. One of my favorite picture.
We opened our pjs and took a family picture.(I guess Hurley had to be part of that too now)
We set out cookies for Santa, and that when they heard the bells. They love each year that Santa comes and visits them before they go to sleep. Beck wanted to go outside to see him, but we told them that he was busy and it was time for bed.
They all camped out in the boys room. Emery and Jacks fell asleep pretty quick but Cam and Beck couldn't sleep. They came out and asked to sleep somewhere else. We told them to sleep on Emery's bed.
When we went to check on them this is how we found them. For whatever reason Beck thought sleeping in the small spot and not on the top of the bed. They woke up at 130 but then went back to bed and woke up at 645, so not too bad.
The tree....
We recorded Christmas but I forgot to take pictures until after.
Emery got a Doc McStuffins truck thing, a cabbage patch doll and a stroller.
The boys got a tablet, which means we won't see them all Christmas break
Jacks got a lot of small figures and a TMNT sewer set. He loves toys, so he was in 7th heaven.
Lots of planing for a quick morning. It was a lot of fun to see their excitement though. Until next year.
