Our Family Christmas


We decided to celebrate Christmas with our small family a few days before actual Christmas Day since we were traveling. It was SO nice and special! Eli was excited for Santa and even woke up early. We had a blast opening stockings and gifts and enjoyed having the time to actually play with them before leaving town.
Eli received a V Reader (his "on computer" as he calls it) and here he is studying it. Evan is calling his friends on his phone.
Opening his Thomas train and track that he wanted from Santa.



I thought Evan would love this tunnel, but he's a little scared of it. It took some convincing to get him through. Still does!


Evan must have the arm cuff of the blood pressure kit around his male parts. haha!


This gift was a huge hit for Eli and was a last minute thought. We have played pretend doctor about a million times since opening this!



Evan could have only received this Mickey tamborine-style rattle that I got at the Dollar Store. He loved it and kept picking it up over and over and shaking it.

Even Santa remembered Stinky! Eli told Santa that Stinky wanted a hat like his for Christmas and look what was in Stinky's stocking (yes, he had his own mini-stocking)


I bought this at a local craft fair and thought it was just darling. It says, "Cookies for Santa" and the little cup says "Milk for Santa"

I look forward to getting it out every year!
