Each year I try to get a cute picture of the kids by the tree, but Liam was not in the mood to do it this year. This is the closest I got to a good picture of them. Christmas Eve we went to my in-laws. We choose names for gifts and then have fun trying to find the perfect gift for that person. It is fun to find a great gift and to see what people choose for you. We open gifts youngest to oldest so that’s the order I’ll put these in. I’m just posting the my kids stuff and the cousins that we drew names for.
Emily had baby Kate so she wrote her a book and then we got her a cabbage patch baby too.
Here she is getting some help with opening from her big sister. Next up was Liam. He got some Thomas the train bath toys (once he opened them he didn’t even care that he had another present to open) Grandma and Grandpa got him a Chuck the dump truck toy that’s really pretty cool too. Daddy was our photographer so this is the best picture we got.
Brighton’s gift was easy for us this year since his mom just told us what he wanted and we bought it. ;) I think he actually opened his gift when Daddy still had the camera so there aren’t any pictures. Take my word for it that he liked it. :)
Camden was our easiest one to choose for, but we had some last minute drama with his gift because we had ordered it from the scholastic order at school and found out the last day of school before break that the order wasn’t put in when it was supposed to be so his gift wouldn’t be coming. I wish we would have known sooner, but it all worked out with a quick trip to Barnes and Noble. Thanks to our Daddy for saving the day on that one. Again, no pictures of Camden, but he was excited when he saw the books. I hope he likes them.
This is the time of year that Jason doesn’t mind being the “younger” twin because he gets to open his gifts first. He got a marshmallow gun, a cool hat (thanks for picking out a good one Andy!) and a subscription to Sports Illustrated for kids. He’s really excited about all of it.
Emily was excited to open a jewelry making kit and she got a super soft and VERY cute build a bear and a subscription to Amercan girl magazine.
You can’t see too well in this picture, but we curled Em’s hair this day and it looked really cute. I was next to get to open my gift and I got a super cute wooden block with the word Family on it, an itunes gift card, a photo frame ornament and some money for our trip to Disneyland next month. Jason had the camera again, and he has a talent of getting me with my eyes closed or my mouth open in a weird expression. As much as I know you’d love to see that I’ll spare you.
Jason got a Simpson’s Scene It game and money for our Disneyland trip (that part of my gift was actually for both of us. :) he had fun playing scene it with the kids last week when I was gone one day.
After the craziness that was gift opening we ate some pizza and then headed home where we opened our traditional pajamas. I think Em was bummed I couldn’t find matching ones for us, but since she is just about the same size as me it’s probably better so we know which ones are ours.
The kids in their jammies. 
Mom and Dad in our jammies. The funny story about Daddy’s jammies is that he opened some new ones and put them on and when he pulled the string to tighten the waist band they ripped so he had to wear old ones and we had to take those back. After we were all in our pjs we read the Christmas story and hustled the kids off to bed so we could be ready when Santa came. That was our Christmas Eve. It was great.
