We were in the middle of moving during last Christmas, so unpacking the ornaments this year led to many forgotten treasures.
Along with the old treasures, Samuel added a new treasure-his partridge that Grandmary bought him at Schoolhouse Earth.
Grammy & Grandpa spent the night of Christmas Eve and were awakened by Samuel a few times in the evening "swearing that he saw the sun coming up." Sadly, it was only 3 am. Samuel awoke Maya & I at 6:45 with very tired looking eyes. Samuel crawled into bed with me and fell back to sleep while Maya went to wake Grammy & Grandpa. At 8am we all awoke together & preceded downstairs.
Maya made sure that Otis was the first one to open any presents. He was soooo excited!After opening our stockings, Sam & Maya found their presents from Santa Claus & Santa Mouse.
Samuel's present was a baby corn snake
We all had a great time opening presents. By the time my parents' good friends, Steve & Lerae, came over at 11, the kids still had presents to open!
After installing all of the batteries & reading the robot instructions, I began cooking the turkey dinner while Steve, Steve & Dad played Sequence, Mom took a nap, and Samuel, Maya & Lerae watched "Cars."
After dinner, Maya & Grammy began the felt purse sewing kit that Aunt Elizabeth & Uncle "what's his name" sent her.
Our day ended with a few games of Sequence and a very tired Hope family.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
