So we as a family have made some of our own Christmas traditions. One of them is that we choose a different morning to open gifts then Christmas morning. On Christmas morning we go to church and after church sing some Christmas carols. Our aim is not to focus on gifts on Christmas day but to focus on our Saviours birth. We still do gifts but don't do the Santa Claus thing either. The kids are still really happy and excited to receive a few gifts but to also hang out with family and do special things together as a family.
In the kids stockings we buy a new pair of pj's for each of them, a Christmas tree ornament and sometimes socks and underwear.
Ken also makes a trip to the thrift store and picks out specific books for each of the kids.
We take turns opening our gifts and as you can see sometimes the kids help each other unwrap.
Lukey got a new puppy. His old one the stuffing was coming out of and when I tried to fix it I overstuffed it and it was pretty stiff and constantly was leaking stuffing.
Our poser got an awesome jersey from Nana and Papa.
Wow lots of pink this year. A Miss Kitty sleeping bag for Emma and a pink car.
Andrew got a ski helmet and goggles.
Sam got some goggles too and a lego set.
