Emma and Isaac weren't so sure about the stockings.
The kids pretty much decorated the tree this year. I can't believe how relaxed I am about the whole experience now compared to a few years ago.
Love this.
We did some fun Christmas baking for a few neighbors and the kids teachers this year.
We also got the teachers some fuzzy socks and handcream and these cute little notes I printed off of pinterest.
Merry Christmas!
Andrew and his new airsoft gun. Boys!
Andrew had Emma's name and bought her some Barbies and clothes with his own money he saved.
Isaac was super excited for his new school bus with lights and a stop sign.
Luke got a lego set.
Pretty spoiled by Nana and Papa. All four boys got snowshoes.
Sam had Ken's name and bought him an airsoft gun. He was bursting with excitement.
Target shooting off the back deck.
This year we tried something different at Christmas and we drew names. The three oldest did chores all fall and saved money to buy the gift for the person they had. We had a $20 limit. Ken and I took them out individually to shop for their person. We all made lists to help with ideas. It was really neat to see everyone think about their person and what they would like the most. I also bought each kid a gift from the thrift store. Andrew a Oilers jersey, Sam camo clothes, Luke a camo hoodie, Isaac some stacking blocks and Emma a pink wagon for her dolly's. I also had Sam's name and found a 800 piece k'nex set for $9.99. Some awesome scores. We had lots of fun and will probably draw names again next year.
