The kids awoke to Santa's gifts and full stockings!
The grands came over and watched the early gift opening.
Shannon received a chapter book from Santa and commenced reading at once!
We lit the Advent candles and the children did the readings.
It was a slow lighting ceremony! Then we had breakfast and the blasted cat peed on our unopened gifts.
After breakfast, we opened gifts!
A cheerful pair of recipients!
Mitch received a Swiss Army knife from Russ and Julie and it was required for opening most other presents...
Oh! Opening his new baseball glove!
Russ refinished and refurbished Grampa Allstot's axe and gifted the special version to Dad. Lots of thoughtful details.
The calendar tradition continues!
Shan just read and read!
We wrapped up the day with the Cotters, Johnsons, Allstots, Pobsts and us having a soup dinner and celebrating my birthday. A happy Christmas indeed!
