Christmas Morning

December went by so fast this year.  The weather has been warm and Christmas just snuck up on me this year.  Luckily I stayed on top of the shopping and wrapping so we were all set for Christmas morning. 

We told Hallee and Wyatt that we wouldn't start until 9 AM. They were disappointed, but good sports about it. They hung out together and played games in Wyatt's room until we all got up.

The kids are getting harder and harder to shop for. I love surprising people with gifts, but this year I accepted that it's too hard to surprise them and they picked out most of their gifts.  I did come up with a few surprises though.

Keith had the great idea to give the boys gaming laptops. 

He had some laptops at work that his agents aren't using anymore so he fixed those up and added some memory and bigger hard drives to make them really nice for the boys.  They were surprised and very excited.

Caitlyn asked for a cherry toilet bowl cleaner, welcome to adulthood Cait! She also got some laundry soap and quarters to do her laundry.  Hallee has been wanting a camera that prints out pictures for a while. Daniel gave us all one in Hawaii so we were excited to save that and give it to Hallee. She was surprised and excited!

The kids all surprised me with gifts and Keith gave me a stocking, it was so sweet.

Caitlyn got Keith a calendar and some cologne that she knew he wanted.

The other kids got Keith upwards. He loves scrabble so we thought he would like this game.

I love seeing their excited faces.

The girls are very expressive. 

Wyatt moved so fast that it was hard to get pictures of him.

Jonah asked for lots of clothes.

Hallee has moved on from toys and wanted skin care and clothes this year.

Caitlyn was excited to get lots of new clothes.

I was surprised by some of the clothes Jonah wanted. It's funny how the kids end up wearing the same styles that their parents used to wear. 

Wyatt asked for some Vans shirts.

I couldn't resist buying Hallee a caboodle. I wish I would have saved mine!

I love how excited Caitlyn gets for things that she asked for.

I told Jonah he had to give me specific clothes he wanted or he would just get money.  He sent me a bunch of links, but apparently he forgot because he was surprised by a lot of them.

Hallee loved the necklace and bracelet I surprised her with. 

Wyatt asked for the Lego 2K game and he knew it was sold out everywhere, so he was surprised and excited to get the digital version. 

Hallee sent me a link for a sweater she really wanted, but there was only one in her size. I immediately ordered it and a few minutes later she looked and was sad that it was sold out.

She was so excited to see I was the one that got the last one!

The girls both asked for a few sweaters.  They are so cute.

Jonah wanted these pants that I was sure he would not end up wearing. I debated on getting them, but Lori told me I should get them if he said he wanted them. I'm glad I listened to her because he was very exited about those pants.

He has already wore them a few times. 

Every time the boys opened new clothes they would drop their pants and change right there. 

Caitlyn was not a fan of them changing in front of her, so of course they did it more just to bug her. I have so many pictures that I am going to have to break this up into another post.
