Christmas Eve we had our traditional snack food dinner & movie party. I look like I am asleep in this picture, possibly because I had just eaten about a pound of shrimp cocktail.
Christmas morning the kiddos snuggled under the Christmas blankies and waited excitedly for the stragglers to arrive on the scene.
Then we opened our stockings.
I thought they might feel like they got a lot less than last year, but everyone seemed pleased.
They were especially pleased that even though they got dogs for Christmas, and I had warned them that their would not be much else, a few large-ish educational type presents were also under the tree.
AND a few hand-made presents also made it under the tree -- this quilt is for A's Kirsten doll's bed and made from antique scraps that a friend gave me.
They were excited to have presents from each other as well. It really is amazing what you can find at the Dollar Tree.
After the presents the kids presented a magic show that they had been planning for over a week. it included some disappearing coins, disappearing feet, and a dance routine from the two littlest.
It was a nice day of relaxed cozy winter celebrations.
