First stop, the stockings. They went through all of their stuff and then of course helped Lex, Jared, and I empty ours!
Mikaela didn't really understand why she received rechargeable batteries, but she was quite excited about them nonetheless:)
After the stockings they headed into the office and screamed at the sight. Santa left all of the presents on the treadmill wrapped in Santa wrapping paper. They were so excited and dug right in.
Mikaela's big Santa item, her Barbie Diamond Castle Horse and Carriage. She LOVES it!!
Jacks' item was his Optimus Prime Transformer Battle Blaster! He LOVES it too, and can't stop going around the house hunting Decepticons.
Here's a fun gift their Baltimore cousins sent them. They couldn't stop riding these horses after they opened them! Thanks Aubrey, Evan, and Elisa!!
Christmas Eve Jackson kept saying that he hadn't bought anything for anyone in the family. To appease him Jared took him and Mikaela down to the dollar store so that they could pick out gifts for everyone in the family. Jared said it was really fun watching both of them actually think about what they wanted to get for eachother, Jared, me, and Lexie. Below is what Jackson and Mikaela picked out for Alexis from them, a baby and bottle. She is enamored with the doll and totes it around everywhere she goes! Who would have known that their dollar gift would have been such a hit!
We finished opening presents and pretty much had a lazy day after that. Jared made a yummy lunch of ham, mashed potatoes, and asparagus. We ate to our hearts content and then went out sledding in our backyard! Jared built the kids a slide out of snow from the top of our deck down to the bottom and the kids loved sledding down. We really had a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!
