Christmas!!!

We had a wonderful Christmas this year...Waynesville, Mo 2015 
 
Opening their Christmas Eve present  
Hailey reading Twas the Night Before Christmas
Spreading reindeer food after the Christmas Eve church service
Happy girl on Christmas Eve

Ready for bed!


Leevi bought Luke a real toolbag with real tools...you have no idea how excited he was and how often he uses the tools or grabs his tools to help with a repair/project!


Hailey got a BB gun!



Leila eating her Christmas bone right in the middle of the chaos!
Whitney slept thru most of Christmas morning!
Luke got his first bike from my parents (we are keeping it in the basement for now for him to ride since it's impossible to ride in our neighborhood or even our driveway!)

Both girls got Kindle Fires

They each got a Lego set




Roller blades from my parents...these are also in the basement, but we've gone once to the skating rink already
This was the first year in as long as I can remember that we haven't hosted Christmas dinner.  We wanted something low key since Leevi was leaving in about a week, so we opted for just a family day and had fun helping the kids play with/build their toys verses rushing to clean up the Christmas aftermath before guests arrived like in years past.  And we went to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens in the theatre that afternoon.  Everyone LOVED it and both Whitney and Luke did great and Leevi and I were able to watch the whole movie. 

Leevi bought us a sewing machine for Christmas and is teaching the girls how to sew!!!  That man can do anything!!!  He'll have to teach me too!!!

Hailey and Leevi made a swaddle for Whitney!
A super cool fort builder from Uncle Isaiah and Aunt Megan! 


And Mommy's new present!!!!!  Eek!!!!!!!!  Leevi thinks we've outgrown the minivan and bought me this!!!!!  Sigh, I was perfectly fine with the minivan and didn't have one since complaint (other than it was a "minivan")  I would have driven it forever but I'm not complaining!  This is a 2015 'used' Suburban with 20,000 miles
My favorite Christmas décor!!
Our card this year!
