Secret Sibling

Christmas Sunday is always my favorite Sunday of the year, but it was pretty different this year.  It was our week to watch church on zoom.  The talks were really good and we did have one musical number, but I missed being at church and having a special program with lots of Christmas music. Hallee and Jonah dressed up in some Christmas clothes for the sacrament.
We did our secret sibling gifts on Sunday.  We had a Christmas lesson and watched "The Christchild" before the kids gave their presents to each other.
The kids love this tradition.  I love seeing how much thought they put into buying their gifts.  Wyatt and I went shopping for Hallee a while ago.  He knew she would love this sloth purse and Chapstick set.
Caitlyn was so excited to give Wyatt the Wreck This Journal that she picked out for him.
She knew he would love it and she was right.
Hallee bought Jonah watch bands and she knew that he would love mints.
I love that the kids are more excited to give their gifts than get their gifts.
Jonah was so generous and used all of his money to buy Caitlyn an Echo Show.  
Caitlyn mentioned once that she wanted one and Jonah heard it and decided that was what he wanted to get her. I was impressed that he was willing to spend so much.
Caitlyn was so surprised and so excited!
They all wanted to use their gifts right away.
After that we played bingo and then Caitlyn and I made crispy cheddar chicken for dinner.  
Caitlyn and Jonah made dessert together and we watched a movie that night.  It was a great family day.

This is awesome. It looks like they each did a great job of thinking about each other. I love the pic of Jonah and Hallee.
