Elves set the table.
The sugar rimmed glasses turned out super cute, but everyone looked like this all night:
Even the adults! We saw a lot of tongues during dinner.
Santa bbq'ed tri tip in the 20 degree weather.
This was my favorite Christmas present! Nothing more precious than time with family.
Squeak squeak.
Rockin' some Christmas songs.
Christmas morning. Some kids woke up at 5am. We made them wait until 9!
As part of Chad's scavenger hunt for his last present, he had to jump on the ice filled tramp and run around the house. He also had to solve some Spanish riddles.
Sarah's clue read, "Rub Grandma's feet 10 minutes to get next clue!"
Uncle Ben assembled presents!
I sent Russ to Restoration Hardware with the item description and coupon attached. And it's the first time ever it wasn't wrapped in Walmart bag.
Sarah went to town making gifts!!! Seriously, she spent hours. These are a few of the Elmer's glue and glitter ornaments she made for me. She even hand sewed Ava a pillow, made a picture of Ava into a real hard backed puzzle, and made a board game for Alyssa!
He got what he wanted.
Alyssa made a cardboard, plastic, and scotch tape doll house for Sarah and parted with some of her toys.Opening my present felt awkward, but watching the kids open theirs was exhilarating! Giving is so much more fun.

Looks like you had a lovely time!! It was fun to see you! Even if it was for just a short minute at church. :)
Okay, now I'm curious....so what did you get? What was in the nicely wrapped gift from Restoration Hardware????? Soooo fun to take a peek into your Christmas morning! I LOVE that I can picture you in your house now. (I have no idea why that's so fun to me) Anyway, I need to post our pictures. I don't even know what we have. I think Sean took a few at first, but I'm not sure after that? Anyway...long comment!
What a great day.. looks like fun for all!!! Love the giving.. love the joy in the kids eyes!!!
