Christmas 2015

This is after the stockings were opened.  The girls were quite satisfied with their stockings this year!

 And I love that they buy each other gifts.  Even if they are inexpensive, they still get so excited to buy them AND get them from each other.

 Jordyn's stocking that she LOVED.
 
My gumballs from Jeannine!


Tucker received this wonderful cross stitch from his mom - she is so amazing with her cross stitches! Apparently he gave her this design and requested the DO NO QUIT to be added to it.  She did an amazing job with it!  And the framing is so beautiful.  Tucker loves it so much!

 Some fun Christmas Eve portraits by the tree...










Then after the kids went to bed, the elves were hard at work!






The next morning, Elfie left a note for Peyton saying that his gift to her was that she could hold him and play with him for an entire day.  Look at that excitement in her face!






I took lots of video that morning, but not lots of pictures.  So here is our aftermath!  I think the main highlights were some UGG boots, Lululemon leggings, cute strappy bras, pretty shoes, workout clothes, and dresses!  Oh, and a keyboard piano for the entire family to share.


Then we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa's house. We did what has become an annual candy cane tasting contest.  My mom literally crushed a candy cane with a hammer and then passed around little bits to each person so that we could vote.  I think we tested 14 candy canes!













Carly took this panoramic pic...really cool!  Except my mom and Paxton look scary!
