Christmas 2016

Christmas Day 2016

First we woke up to a winter wonderland! 

It snowed about 10 inches

Christmas Eve into Christmas morning. 

It was gorgeous!

Lilly opening her stocking- she was very excited about her Color Me Mine gift certificate

She got an American Girl Doll (well Target version) with glasses just like her.  Lilly even got a matching outfit to her doll she can wear too.

Lilly also got:

Fashion Plates (from mom and dad)

Luggage

A new Bike

Lego Set- Heartlake Private Jet

Magic Blanket (from Ethan)

Shopkins (from Lucky)

This girl has really been wanting a real pet turtle but probably knew that wasn't a real possibility, so instead asked for the next closest thing.... A Little Live Pet Turtle.  Extra bonus that mom and dad gave her TWO turtles :)  She loves them and has named them Pearl and Diamond

 Afton also got:

Luggage

Bike

Polaroid Camera

Lego Set- Adventure Camp Rafting

 Turtle necklace and stuffed animal (from Lizzie)

Shopkins (from Lucky)

Oh Dear! 

This girl has entered the land of cell phone responsibility. 

She was very excited and I think surprised that mom and dad got her an iPhone (old version) and not a flip phone.  We are already finding out girls text WAY more than boys.

Lizzie also got:

Luggage

Nintendoland for WiiU

Boots and a Coat

Lego Set- Heartlake Puppy Daycare

Magic Blanket (from Afton)

Sweater and shirt (from Lucky)

This boy got 2 really cool board games that he has been interested in. 

Ethan also got:

IPhone (from mom and dad)

Luggage

Mario Kart 8 for the WiiU

Lego Set: Resistance Troop Transporter

Star Wars calendar/ movie gift card (from Lilly)

Lego Set: Carbon Freezing Chamber (from Lucky)

Good thing everyone got some luggage

BECAUSE

Jim surprised me with a

Christmas/ early birthday present

with tickets for all of us to go to

HARRY POTTER WORLD

FOR MY 40TH BIRTHDAY! 

I am so excited!

 He even made these awesome Harry Potter invitations for all of us.

Yikes!

  Christmas aftermath

My parents came up for a little bit to see what the kids got and then it was time to get ready for church.

 This year Christmas landed on Sunday.

  It  was really nice to go to church on Christmas Day and be reminded of the true reason for the season

After church we headed over to Jim's parents for awhile and then came home and relaxed and played with our gifts including 

 some Mario Kart .

Another very good yet busy day.

Merry Christmas
