Then the girls got to open their presents. They each got a pair of shoes. A Doll. Sydney a big girl doll. Elizabeth a baby doll. Lizzy got assorted baby food/bottle items. Sydney got a doll tent, a lantern, a pretend mini foreman grill and each girl got a matching girl/doll outfit.
William got a couple of outfits and a dexterity entertainment box thing. It has a different activity on each side, and then a move the "beads across different wires on top" activity. Lizzy actually really likes to play with this too.
I don't know what everyone else gave my parents, I'll just mention what we gave them.
My dad got a BYU ornament and flashlights, and For mostly my mom, but for both of them, We gave them a drawing of My brother Andrew with Jesus Christ.
After Presents we packed up and headed home. It was late, but because the kids fell asleep in the car we stayed up for a while after we got home.
It was a very lovely Christmas Eve Eve.
The kids were very bored on the actual Christmas Eve, because we didn't do much. In retrospect I really needed to plan better, but I kinda thought we would just naturally do Christmasy things. Nope. We played with the kids new baby dolls. Jake and I did our usual-spending time on the computer (I know, old habits :( ...). The that night we did the traditional open up Christmas Eve presents-which included pajamas, a book, and a movie.
The kids loved their pjs and the book, but they didn't care for the movie. "A Christmas Carol". It was a cartoon version, and I definitely think I need to get the original, because the cartoon one was different and weird.
Then of course....Christmas Day Came....
