I wanted so badly to get a good picture of the girls all dressed up for Christmas. I even looked cute! However, it was a little stressful once we got to church and we did not get one. Here are my attempts before we headed out the door. The service was really nice and the girls sang a beautiful song while doing sign language. No pics of that...Evangeline was wanted to scream and run around that night for some reason!
After church we came home and the kids opened up their "secret sibling" gifts. They had been asking to open one thing on Christmas Eve and I thought this would be a fun tradition to start. Each child picks another child's name earlier in the month and is responsible for doing jobs to earn $10-$15 to buy their secret sibling a gift. Evangeline was asleep at this point!
Ashton stayed up to help put together Gideon's pirate ship. When I showed Dan the ship on amazon and asked if he thought Giddy would like it he immediately said, "How hard is it to put together?" LOL. Thankfully reviewers had stated it was very easy so we went ahead and got it. It's so much bigger than I expected though.
And here is our tree right before we went to bed. Notice the bare bottom half of the tree! The presents went under the tree after the littles had gone upstairs. Giddy has a hard time with not opening presents! While at the BX food court I suddenly noticed he was missing and turned around in time to see him ripping the wrapping off of a cardboard box purely there for decoration. I made Q go get him since I was so embarrassed. I laughed pretty hard about it later though!
