Christmas was absolutely wonderful this year. We awoke to lots of snow but, since I live two minutes away from my parents, I was able to get there in time to open presents. Sean set a strict 9:00 am start time because he gets so excited he can't wait much longer than that! Here is what the tree looked like before we started opening presents.
Santa Claus definitely came! The white envelopes on the tree contain $50 bills. My Dad has done this for all of us every year since I can remember. Here we are opening presents!
Marilyn was the most excited about getting an iron! Apparently this iron is especially made for quilting!
I got a selfie stick. I really wanted one and everyone laughed about it but all of my officers seem to have so much fun with them. I also got an Instax mini camera (which everyone now wants) and a silhouette cutting machine (which I am really excited to play with). However, I'm most excited about getting the Star Wars complete saga on Blu-Ray! I feel a marathon coming soon!
The best part of Christmas is watching Sean and Tashena opening their presents! Tashena got lots of clothes and a new phone! She is pretty much the happiest girl in the universe and spent much of the day texting her friends!
Sean got clothes, a bean bag chair, a case for his 3DS, lots of 3DS games, and the coolest R2-D2 slippers ever! His big present was a Robosapien robot which entertained all of us for hours!
Every year my Mom makes sweet rolls for breakfast after we open presents. In the evening we had a delicious dinner and played Shanghai Rummy late into the night (Tashena won!). It couldn't have been a better day! We were all very spoiled with presents but the best part was all of us being together and continuing our many Christmas traditions! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday!
