Home Christmas happened for us on new years eve. We awoke in the morning, had a quick breakfast(who can eat when there are presents to open!) and the sorting began. I coded the packages this year with symbols so no one knew who's present was who's! It was great!(thank you to a certain sister-in-law for that idea!:~) )The girls got new tie blankets that my mom put together for them and Kayla was thrilled! Makayla also received a diary to enter all of her most priceless secrets! it came with 2 keys, however she thinks it has only one!:~)
Maggie got a mason jar that has a butterfly in it, you put your hand on the top and the butterfly flies around. It really looks real, as you can tell from her reaction she loved it. It continues to be a favorite for her. Her game of Operation also struck her funny bone!
PJ had a pretty good haul. He did a great job this year, very happily opening each gift and acting like it was the best ever and his favorite! His only requested toy was a Buzz scooter, so he was ecstatic with it.
Brie had the present opening thing figured out this year and was not allowing anyone to help her! She still would open a gift and then watch others for awhile and then remember she could open another one as well! She still likes frogs so when she opened this green guy he got a genuine hug as well.
All and all I think home Christmas was equally successful as grandma/grandpas and granny's/pops. The kids were quite happy with all the gifts they received!
