It's Christmastime AGAIN!







 Christmas Eve PJ's...Dad hid them outside and the kids had to go find them as usual.
Lewis final got a onesie with a trap door!


 Being silly, singing with the guitar and listening to Dad read the Christmas story from the Bible and the Polar Express.




Then it was time to decorate the Santa cookies and put out the Egg Nog, cookies and of course carrots for Santa and his Reindeer.





 Laura wouldn't be with us Christmas morning, so she and Mac exchanged gifts and Laura got to open her stocking.
 Then...this is where my 'elves' came in handy...they built the little boys' gift, a train table with a million and 3 pieces!


I was so grateful!


And of course, first thing...like literally, first thing in the morning...
everyone jumps onto our bed and opens their stockings that Santa leaves at the end of each child's bed.





 Everyone waiting to enter the family room to 'rip'!
 Santa wraps each person's 'Santa Gift' in the same paper each year.









 Kaitlin is going to Oz in May!
 ...and the beloved train table...with all it's million and 3 pieces!

 Dad has a collection of M n M dispensers at work and Mac and Laura got him another one to add to it...he loves it!


My fagulous peeps all went in on a great gift for moi...a mandolin.  Now I have another New Year's resolution...to learn to play it!
