Santa came!! Whoo hoo! The kids were super excited to wake up (and patiently waited until Dave and I were up) and open their Santa gifts and stockings.
The most precious gifts are the ones that they made and second to that were the ones they bought with their own money. Both kids have such generous hearts and love giving presents. Preston made a poster for me with 20 free gumballs anytime I want them. He made Dave a coupon book for different options like "not having to put me to bed", "20 hugs", "free gum", etc. Precious!
After opening Santa gifts downstairs, we had a yummy french toast breakfast and rested before opening the rest of our gifts upstairs.
The kids got snow bibs, with a pass that told them we were going snow tubing tomorrow. They were so excited!!
What a wonderful, relaxing morning it was for us all! So, so nice not to have to rush off anywhere and just to enjoy the beautiful day at home!
Unfortunately, with loads of packages and gifts, there was tons of recycling. Preston and Dave worked for quite a while trying to get it all in the bin, before finally giving up! I think Dave almost lost it when we kept saying "here's one more thing for recycle." :)
We also enjoyed seeing Dr. Seuss' The Grinch at the movies. What a fun way to relax and spend the afternoon together. We truly are blessed and thankful! So although it was different not having family around, it was wonderful to not be on a schedule and to celebrate Christmas in Charlotte!
