Today the boys were thrilled to open more presents. I know that's hard to believe but they were! It has been driving them crazy to see gifts under the tree with their name on it and not be able to open them. We try to space gift opening out every year and it seems like we've come up with a good plan. This past weekend was Christmas at the farm. Yesterday we let them open gifts from friends that had been shipped and arrived in the mail. Today we let them open gifts from us and their gifts to each other. Tomorrow morning will be Santa's time and then we'll celebrate with Grandma & Grandpa N tomorrow afternoon / evening. Spacing it out allows us to enjoy it all and not feel overwhelmed.
Cool gear from Aunt Cary!
Eli loved the Dartmouth clothes from Holly, Jon, Jack & Casey - our friends in Vermont
When the boys woke up this morning, Elfie Jim had started opening presents and gave them permission to open these presents early.......football slippers!
Happy with his Marine lamp
A new devotional book for the year ahead (we did Bible reading every day this year)
Cole got his own Day by Day Bible
Artic Lamp - the boys love these in their rooms
Excited to give Daddy his presents
Can't remember what they said but Cole's reaction is funny
Love Daddy and Daddy's new football lounge pants
This year the boys picked out gifts for each other. I took them individually to the store and it was awesome to watch them pick out something that their brother would like. Cole got Eli a travel football set - sort of a table top one.
Eli got Cole a helicopter and a Lego mini-figure
Making his mini-figure
and playing with his football game (notice the new slippers!)
