On Christmas Eve, we did some last minute shopping for presents and food. Sherrie and Brian came up from Cypress and we ate dinner and did the Christmas Story Nativity with the kids. Most of them enjoyed dressing up. Annika wanted to the be a donkey. Clayton, Cooper, and Wesley were wise men. Grandma and Tyler were the shining angels. Micaela was Mary and Brian was Joseph.
After the nativity, our special elf, Jingle Bell, brought Clayton, Cooper and Tyler some new, Christmas pajamas. Landry also received some pajamas from his elf. His pajamas were the full body pj's that completely cover the feet. At first, he wasn't quite sure what to think of them. He started walking funny and trying to pull them off. It was so funny to watch him be so disturbed over closed-toe pajamas....and what is even funnier is that Sean used to have that same issue when he was little.
After we put the kids to bed, Mom and I wrapped presents in her room. Cooper ended up throwing up in the toilet upstairs and then settled down to sleep. After we brought all the presents out and set up the room, we finally all went to bed at 1:00. Clayton kept crying off and on most of the night. I finally moved into another room at 4:30am. At 7:30, Landry was awake and ready to open presents. We just decided to let the boys sleep until they woke up on their own.
Clayton, Cooper, and Bryce finally came down around 9. They were so excited to open their stockings. Afterwards, they opened all their presents. This year, "Santa" attempted to bring Cooper the computer game, Minecraft, but we are still having problems downloading the game for him. This is his favorite game so we will have to figure out a way to get it for him.
Clayton received many "Mighty World" toys. He got a truck and trailer set, a boating set, a construction set, and a fireman set. He also got some Legos, which is what he really wanted. He likes to watch Bryce put them together, but he doesn't play with them too often.
I got some clothes and a blue tooth for Christmas. I also received a holster for my gun that Bryce got me for my birthday. I got Bryce a ATV GPS for his four wheeler. I hope it will be something he can enjoy down the road! Kellye made Sean a tailgating game called, Cornhole. It is played with bean bags that you toss into a hole. We took it outside and tried it out. It was a great gift idea and she spent lots of time making it.
Sherrie and Brian came back up on Christmas evening and we ate dinner and played games. We took the kids over to look at the Christmas lights at Central Park. The kids ran around under the big red Christmas tree. Cooper and Wesley got really dizzy, but they thought it was fun. It was so much fun to just spend time with the family.
