In this picture I am trying to capture the total shock and excitement of Q getting a Kindle Fire. He had NO idea and never thought we would get him one. He loves the games. We love the parental controls. win win
Evangeline's "fun present" was a baby doll with a dress that matched hers. I told her to give the baby a kiss and she made this face for me. So sweet. She loves this baby. It may be a hand me down, head drawn on, well loved baby, but she doesn't care.
Gideon (and others) checking out the pirate ship. It was a long wait to open that big box!

The aftermath
This year we did the ornament in the stocking, a book present, a clothing present and a fun present. Less was definitely more. We all had fun without any meltdowns. Giddy did so good. He patiently waiting his turn to open each present and sat so nicely instead of trying to run and grab things from under the tree like last year.
