Late Merry Christmas everyone. We had a great day with some of our children here to celebrate with us. This is what the tree looked like on Christmas Eve. Yes Kismet spent most of her time under the tree playing with the ornaments.
The stockings are filled with goodies to be discovered in the morning.
Passing out the gifts to everyone.
Family tradition of starting at the youngest one opening a gift. Yes we open one at a time so everyone can see what was given and their reaction to the gift. David opened up this gift from Tara and John. The red shirt was included with the candy.
Next youngest is Aryan. He is wearing the shirt that Tara and John gave him while holding the gift he just opened from his grandparents.
Ashley was next. She is holding a movie that Bekah gave her.
Then onto to Bekah. She just opened up one of the gifts we gave her. I made all the girls hats, arm warmers and several other items.
James came next. He is Bekah's boyfriend who came with them to celebrate Christmas with us. He is displaying all three sunglasses that Tara and John gave him.
I was actually next but there isn't a picture of me since I was doing all the picture taking.
Last but not least was Mike's turn. He gets help from Zeus to open his gifts. Mike got a lot of candy and nuts this year. He takes them to work for quick snacks.
After Mike we start all over again until all the gifts are opened.
Here is the pile of paper after the gifts are opened. Kismet was having fun playing in the paper. When the children were younger we use to put them in the pile of paper and take photo's. They are too old now. Another thing we use to do was take pictures of them with all their gifts.
We had a great time and enjoyed ourselves with eating and movie watching and just hanging out with one another. Hope you had a joyous Christmas.
Until next time.
