The kids got up at exactly 5am on Christmas morning. We told them before they went to bed not to wake us up any earlier! I don't think Garrett ever went to sleep that night. He promptly woke up his siblings at 5am.
Morgan got new UGG boots
Garrett got me a new jacket
Kevin got a much needed new pair of shoes. Garrett has been into reading the Redwall series of books so he got a couple more of those. He also got his first book in the C.A. Henty series.
Morgan is into Elsie Denismore. She loves listening to the audio books. Unfortunately, I bought her the books she already had. :( I am going to return them and get her the next ones. Justin is into The Magic Tree House books. Morgan found most of the set at a garage sale and got them for Justin.
Aunt Roni went to New Orleans and brought the kids back masks. Here they are modeling.
Garrett got coal for Christmas. He knows there are times he deserves it! (Don't we all) What he really wanted for Christmas was a cell phone. We told him no over and over again these past few years. We know we are the last parents on earth who won't get their kids a phone. We didn't see the point. Now that he is getting more independent in his activities we can justify it. So his big surprise was his phone! We are working up a mutual contract on how we expect the phone to be used. He was very happy.
