Christmas Day 2019

Although this Christmas morning was one of the latest to begin, the kids must have been good because Santa did come! I woke up, made sure the "Santa" stuff looked just so, made coffee, and then woke Billy. I didn't video the whole thing, I asked the kids their opinion and they both said they didn't like knowing they were being recorded because it changes their reactions etc...that's honest and I can respect that. Snapped a few pics and kept it low key. It was so fun watching them open stuff!

When the kids finally woke and came in, they made sure to give the puppies their stockings first. They got chews, a fortune cookie & bok choy leek toys, along with some liver snaps...happy puppies!

Blake opened a smart plug and Tay opened a new mouse for her pc. They both got a big surprise with their Alexis Shows and their Pokemon Switch games! Blake got a Kalid vinyl record and the Adidas hoodie he was wanting. Tay got brush markers and a heavy dragon plush. Both of them ended up with gift cards for Starbucks and some of their favorite places, along with some candy in their stocking. They were super happy kiddos!

Everyone kinda went their own way for a bit, I made breakfast, relaxed and then got ready for our family dinner and gift exchange. We were excited for Aunt Sissy and Uncle Danny to get here, they always make it fun and bring Christmas to light! Aunt Sissy is famous for giving the kids $100 in cash, they love it so much! This year, she hid the money in a puzzle cube that they had to solve in order to unlock it. Blake buzzed right through, Tay didn't quite have the patience so he helped her..lol. Tay got cash, a lettering kid, gel pens, & a Turkish snack box! Blake loved the cash, his trumpet tee, and amazon gift card! They always spoil us so much!

 After our gift exchange, Aunt Susie joined us and we had a traditional Christmas dinner. It was complete with ham, mashed potatoes & gravy, cheesy potato casserole, mac n cheese, candies sweet potatoes, and fresh baked rolls. It was all yummy and hit the spot. We chatted for awhile, had a bit of dessert and then I packed everyone up with to-go bags because we all needed nap time..lol. We didn't even play any games this year. Glad I got some pics of all of us though.

We are very thankful for such a blessed Christmas. We will never forget the one true gift, Jesus. Happy Birthday Jesus and Merry Christmas to all!!!
