Christmas Eve

It was the first snowy Christmas Eve in the Northwest that I can remember in a very long time. We woke up to beautiful fluffy snowflakes coming down.



In the morning we allowed the children to open one gift. Kennedy was excited to receive her own Bible with a color-it-yourself-case.


Jack was thrilled to open his remote control tarantula. He had been wanting it for so long.


I don't have a photo of Harrison opening his gift because he was thoroughly disappointed to tear off the paper and find a new sweat suit. Poor little four-year-old. I really should have been the one to hand out the gifts to make sure everyone had something fun to unwrap.




Christmas Eve night is usually when the children get to open their special gift of pj's. This year the boys got matching Superman jammies that included these super-cool capes. We also have a matching pair for Mikey when he returns.


Harrison liked the jammies so much that it almost made up for the sweat suit mishap earlier in the day.


The following video clips are only for the truly devoted. I figured the grandparents might delight in seeing these images of the children opening their gifts. I was thrilled with their genuine excitement.


Harrison loved his set of Lincoln Logs.



Jack was happy to get his (third) guitar.


Our little scientist didn't have this on her list, but was very glad to get her first microscope.
