We had a great Christmas this year. My parents spent Christmas with us which was a huge help and made it even more fun. The girls got a special Christmas visit from their best friends that moved to northern Ohio in October.
They got a cardboard castle from Heath's sister which has been hours of entertainment.
Brianna only asked for elephants this year and all 3 of her santa gifts were elephants. The kids were all kind to Santa this year and he spent very little on any of them. The most expensive gift was the FAO Schwarz elephant Brianna has which was only 24.99. Leah got a lego castle from my aunt and uncle. No one even knew that we have been studying castles in history this year.
Leah got this large duck, duck pillow pet, and fur real duck. This big duck was less than $15!! Alex got a lego tractor from my aunt and uncle.
Katelyn had been saving for this American Girl doll since the summer and finally earned enough to be surprised with her on Christmas Day. I didn't think she was going to have enough but we had a little last minute Christmas Eve money from Great Grandparents. All of the other kids emptied out their piggy banks and gave her some because they really wanted her to get it. Those moments make parenting so rewarding, especially when I didn't even suggest they help Kate.
They got some notecards in their stockings and Sam got a Playmobil St. Nicholas which he loves!!
Here are our pictures after Christmas Eve mass.
Sam didn't feel like posing but Alex did!
They also made cookies with Grandma.
