Merry Christmas morning!
Last year the kids played obnoxious toy instruments and loudly sang Feliz Navidad to the last one to wake up on Christmas morning. (I think it was Annah?) So, they had the instruments ready last night, but Annah made it downstairs before they could get up there and sing to her. So, we just grabbed the toys and sang a terrible rendition to her in the kitchen.

The teenagers don't really want pictures in their pajamas...
They did cooperate for one. I sure do love these three!
The older I get and the older and independent the kids get, the more grateful I am for this man!
Smelly goods!
Sylvia gave Caeden and assortment of guitar picks--all sizes and thicknesses.
She gave Annah a collection of dainty silver rings.
Pretty sure Annah's gift to Caeden was his favorite!
an A string for her cello
hair putty for Caeden and Mama Mia 2 on blu-ray for Annah
a cello rockstop strap for Sylvia
Battlefront 2 for Xbox!
a hanging organizer for Annah
Caeden asked for bluetooth headphones to help him stay calm and get focused before wrestling matches.
matching bracelets for the girls and me
The kids got gift cards for Kohls, H-and-M and iTunes, because we've reached the point where I recognize we have different tastes in clothing and anything I'd choose for them they wouldn't like. So, a shopping day will be coming soon!
The Greatest Showman soundtrack
Lookout! A junior high boy with body spray!
A laundry hamper/bag for our soon-to-be-college-bound girl!
I received some of my favorite things--coffee and candles! And lots of nice smelling things from Bath and Body works!
Jeremy got some new shirts and sweaters.
Marvel movies!
Done opening presents, so the break from texting the boyfriends is over!
Jeremy reorganizing the movie collection to fit the new ones in...
Caeden in the aftermath
Caeden got some wall-walking ninjas and threw them on the ceiling. They did not come down!
Annah had a strategy for getting them down, but she's a pretty good shot!
It actually made them stick more!
Christmas ham, spinach salad, green beans, and cheesy smashed potatoes for Christmas lunch
We enjoyed a pot of wassail all day too!
Not sure where the candy cane headband came from, but somehow it ended up on Jeremy...
We got to talk with Mom and Dad on the phone all the way from Arizona! And we got to FaceTime with Travis and Erin and the kids!
We watched some movies, and enjoyed our couch a lot today.
So nice to have Christmas Day at home with all five of us.
Happy Birthday Jesus!
I'm so glad it's Christmas.
All the tinsel and lights
And the presents are nice,
But the real gift is you.
Happy Birthday Jesus!
I'm so glad it's Christmas.
All the carols and bells
Make the holiday swell
And it's all about you!
Happy Birthday Jesus
Jesus I love you
