This was maybe our biggest Christmas yet, with some extra special presents under the tree. I was so excited to see the kids' reaction that I was up before everyone to wait for them.
Stockings on our bed
We did a good job wrapping early, but had a few things left Christmas Eve. We ran out of room in stockings and wrapping paper, so Alison and Eli each got a gift in a Target bag.
Colin's drew special pictures for everyone in the family for their presents.
We've started a new tradition of gifting each other random things with Maya's face on it. Alison got a craft mat and she gave Ben a T-shirt.
Now for the exciting gifts!
Eli has been wanting this Lego set for a LONG time. Every time we went to the mall, we had to stop by the Lego store to look at it. We talked about it all the time when we played Legos and he would talk about saving up to buy it, so it was super special to surprise him with it.
(Poor guy was coming down with the cold that morning and not quite himself)
To Ben, From Maya ;)
(aka a present for everyone)
The rest of the day was spent eating and playing and it was WONDERFUL.
It "should" have taken Eli a week to put together the hotel, but it took him 24 hours! You're looking at a master builder right here.
