Christmas Mayhem

The Christmas Morning Mayhem starts off with stockings. As you can see, the floor is still relatively clear! Auntie Frieda joined us just as we were finishing dinner on Christmas Eve, and spent the night, so she was able to join in the fun in the morning.
The older 2 girls each got a camera, which they LOVE. I really should upload some of their pictures!...
Molly got a sock monkey, which she immediately adopted into the family of monkey's (the family on the right actually sing and dance, thanks to Auntie Irene!)

Molly REALLY wanted a camera, but since she's only 4, we decided it would be better if she waited until she is older. Here, Abby is graciously showing Molly her camera, and letting her take some pictures.
We were able to get Dad something he didn't have....a golf ball retriever thingy

They also got these HUGE coloring books, which has been the source of hours of entertainment

Nana and Grandpa bought the girls each a big horse and doll. It took 3 adults all working together for at least an hour to get everything out of the boxes. It was nuts!

Can we even SEE the floor?

Ellie Mae thought that she could ride the horse....not so much!

And, finally, Christmas dinner. All I have to say, is, "Very, very yummy!"

It was a great day, so fun to spend it with our family. I love the joy and excitement that they bring! What a blessing they are to this mother's heart!
