Christmas!!!

We had a fantastic Christmas!  It was such a fun day! Jordan was the first one up and came in our room a little after 7, Jackson and Kenzie were both around 7:30, and Coleman came in a little before 8. We read the Christmas story and watched a few short movies about Jesus as well as the Christmas Coat movie about Heber J. Grant. 

Then we went down to the basement to open presents.

Santa left a message for the kids.

The family's 

Kenzie's 

Jackson's 

Mine and Doug's 

Coleman's presents are usually next to me, so he walked in and looked at the hoverboard, and walked right past it. He almost started opening Jackson's presents until I told him to look at the name on the stocking and he realized it was Jackson's. He was so excited to find out the hoverboard was his! 

Jordan waited awhile before he started opening his. He was watching everyone else and walking around a bit. He wanted to make sure he would be last opening his presents :) 

Jackson was so surprised to find he got a computer. 

Kenzie looking through her new calendar.

Pokemon cards! 

Jordan showing Doug his new calendar. 

  

Kenzie was really, really excited about her leopard jacket. 

As soon as she was done opening presents, she ran to wash her new kitty.

All the kids got some new books. Jordan got a series Spy School. 

Coleman put on his new clothes over his jammies. 

Double dutch jump ropes! This is what he wanted most! 

Trying to jump rope with his new long jump ropes. He wasn't very successful :) 

Coleman was thrilled to get a pinball machine. Doug asked him what it was. Coleman said. "It's a pinball machine! Not a huge one, but.... one!" 

Kenzie washing her puppy. 

Jordan got a computer to build! He's excited to build it and has already read a lot in the How to Build a Computer book we got him. 

 

Doug got new ear muffs. He also got sweatpants (his favorite present :)), a keyboard vacuum, shoes, Nintendo gift cards, candy, an exercising (confession time: I can never spell exercising right the first time) game for his Switch, and a few other things. 

Since there's no picture of my presents, I'll just say a few here: a Rubik's Cube, pots and pans, a pan shield thing so oil doesn't splash out when I cook, a water bottle, some clothes, a shower curtain and rug for the kids' bathroom, can organizer, candy, a new Pictionary game, and an Amazon gift card.  

We found some family presents to open. 

We got a cool outdoor/beach blanket from the Kenyons. We're excited to try it out in Hawaii this summer. 

And a family Nintendo Switch! The kids were so excited! Kenzie kept saying something like "did we really just get a Nintendo Switch?" They were especially happy to find some games already loaded onto the Switch.

Kenzie and her presents. Her big one in the box is a desk.

My parents came over to see our presents and us for awhile. Then we went back to their house for the rest of the afternoon/evening.

Kenzie's outfit was pretty great. 

The boys played Hearts. Jordan also worked on building his Gearjits. 

My mom and I did her new puzzle. Kenzie helped at the end.
