Christmas

The couple of days around Christmas were very eventful. We had Harry's bedroom left to paint, Grandmother came for a visit and we had our Christmas with the kids.  It was quite fun.

Ellaree was in charge of the camera.  She took LOTS of pictures.

This time around Daddy got in on the fun of painting.  There was some grumbling going on but we got it done. And it looks great.

The kids were thrilled to see Grandmother and I made them all take a picture together before any gifts could be opened.  They obliged very quickly.

Grandmother gave the kids each a Gingerbread activity to create.  Grandmother & Lorelai created the tree.

Ellaree & Harry created the house....and the gingerbread girls & boys got eaten!

We attended Christmas Eve Service.  Since we were all dressed up I decided that we should have a picture in front of our tree. 

Santa was sneaky this year.  He shopped at Daddy's work and got all the kids matching stocking hats from his work.  They loved them!

Kids eating their Elf Size breakfast after opening their gifts from Santa.  After eating some breakfast then we went back and had our Christmas with gifts from Mom & Dad.  As I have mentioned before we bought things to decorate their rooms. 

Ellaree got an American Girl Create a Bulletin board for her room. She had that done and put up within no time at all.

Lorelai got some purple canvas totes for her room to store things in.  Ellaree has pink ones.  The girls decided to have one of each color in their rooms.  Whatever makes them happy!

All the kids got new curtains.  Harry got John Deere ones.  He pointed out the combines right away.

And when all the gifts were done Harry put his head down and pouted for more gifts!This kid is too much some days.

 

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and will post pictures of the kids rooms soon.
