After getting home from Noni and Papa's we unpacked, got laundry started, ate dinner, and then FINALLY (as the little ones said) got to open the rest of our presents.
We did the family gift exchange presents first. Lou got the Calico Critter ice cream truck from Cousin J.
Peaches got a set of pointe shoes worn and autographed by a famous ballerina that Auntie K and Cousin M got to see in the Nutcracker.
Peanut got a really cool Thomas Kinkade color by number painting from Cousin S.
Boo got a new backpack from Aunt J. Hers had ripped and she'd been using an old one of ours.
Bug got new earbuds from Auntie E. She was very excited!
Then it was time for sister presents! Peanut got the littles Play Doh and the matching ice cream set.
Peanut and Boo got each other new waterbottles when we were Black Friday shopping. Peanut wrapped each little part of hers so that Boo had quite a time getting it unwrapped.
The little ones also got each other water bottles but they didn't know it. Haha.
When Lou wrapped Peaches she was saying, "But I need a new waterbottle Mommy! Can I just keep this one??"
They, as well as Bug, gave Boo and Peanut lotion, body scrub, and perfume from Bath and Body Works.
Which Boo is obsessed with. :)
Lou gave Bug a pretty laundry hamper. Now she can stop using the pink and purple flowered one I bought her when she was 5. :P
Peanut found Boo's favorite face mask online. I don't remember what started it but this is when things started getting silly.
Peanut is making a funny face here at something someone said.
Boo got the little ones new Lego sets.
Cue the silliness!
Happy dance!
Basket head!
Haha, life with five girls is never dull. We did get them settled down long enough to open Barnes and Nobel gift cards from Uncle J and Aunt H!
And a fun game night themed box from Auntie N and Uncle M! They gave them Kanoodle, Sequence, Pictionary, Star Wars Monopoly, and a basket of popcorn and candy for game nights!
T went crazy buying presents for me...new boots, soup bowls, a dress, socks, kitchen towels, a cool kitchen tool chopper thing, the new Lego Galaxy artwork, and a heated jacket!
I bought him some professional grade sawhorses for his new shop...pictured here with this lovely model. :P
As well as some nice wood racks for the lean to and a new drill to replace the one I accidentally dropped off the peak of the shop roof a few months ago. :{ Technically it was the wind that knocked it off, not me...but I didn't have it placed very securely. If you didn't know, a 30+ foot fall will shear a drill right in half. :P
We opened up the Star Wars Monopoly right away! I think I actually like it better than regular Monopoly. There are credits instead of money so it's easier to manage. I also won so maybe that's why I liked it. Haha.
We were definitely spoiled this Christmas! We have been enjoying getting out and using all our new things!
Thank you everyone for making it an extra special Christmas!
