| Matching PJ's gift, dinosaurs this year |
 |
"Who wants to open presents?"
Kai does!
|
 |
| Envelopes from Grandpa Dave and Grandma Joann...with some money of course. |
 |
Perhaps the best gift Conleigh has every gotten.
Grandma got her pans to make cake doughnuts and then the ingredients for three different recipes.
Add in the sign and the apron and she was already planning how to get Dad to build her a hut to sell her doughnuts out of.

| D trying out the old school electronic basketball game that the boys got in their stockings. |
 |
| Same for Zeke. |
 |
The big kids' gift from us this year was a surprise trip to Stuhr Museum's Christmas and an overnight in a hotel with a pool.
We managed to keep it a secret until the very day, leaving Kenson's basketball game and not telling them until they started asking why we weren't home yet.
|
 |
| One of the kids' favorite activities was in the tin shop where they got to pull a tin icicle ornament. |
 |
| We also stopped in the train depot for cocoa and cookies. |
 |
See? We're backwards.
Getting the tree ready.
|
 |
| One of the best parenting choices I have ever made is to let the kids do the tree all by themselves |
 |
I love watching them get out their old ornaments, both the ones we have given them and the ones they have made.
Those ornaments bring up so many memories for them and it's fun to hear them talk.

 |
Here's the caboose.
Because why wouldn't you decorate the Christmas tree with part of a scuba mask in your mouth?
