Coming up the stairs. We still do the whole line-up by age thing. It about kills the older children to wait. I remember feeling like that.
Heck with the tree. She headed straight to the stockings.
Everyone got a stuffed animal in their stockings.
Oskar still needed help unwrapping things. Next year will be a different story. :)
Harriet got a Franklin stuffed animal to go with her Franklin books. She's a huge Franklin fan. She especially loves the book Aunt Megan gave her years ago called
Franklin and Harriet. It is about Franklin being a big brother to sister Harriet. We have three books that feature a Harriet. Our Harriet likes the Franklin one best.
Oskar in his cowboy vest. The older boys love it and Eli frequently laments that it doesn't fit him.
Emeline with the hedgehog Eli made her. The kids found a tree on the mountainside that produces crazy huge pinecones. They collected a bunch for no other reason than they liked them, and then one came in handy when Eli decided to make Emeline a hedgehog. For those that don't know, Emeline is a bit obsessed with hedgies.
Looking at the mini cross-bow Miriam made for Cowen. It shoots cotton swabs and is pretty cool.
The wand Harriet made for Miriam.
The wand Cowen made for Harriet.
Eli wants to go to BYU when he grows up and study paleontology. This book is pretty sweet.
Emeline's wooden birdhouse kit from our Secret Santa.
Cowen's woodworking kit from our Secret Santa.
Cowen's spy outfit. It was a HUGE hit!
Miriam's Frozen shirt. It made us pretty positive who our Secret Santa is. :)
The guitar the children got from Mom and Dad. Miriam knows how to play a song already and it sounds lovely.
The girls in the dress-up clothes they got from Santa.
Harriet's Secret Santa present--a doll for in the bathtub.
The boys both got spy outfits from Santa. They love them. They like to dress up in them and then sneak around and ask me a bazillion times if they scared me or if I knew they were there. Good times. Love boys.
It was a lovely Christmas. Everyone had fun and enjoyed their presents. Thank you Secret Santa for your contributions. We really appreciated it.
