Merry CHRISTmas!

 Dearest Joshua David, Grace Elizabeth, Faith Olivia, Jacob Samuel, and Jeremiah William- 

Merry CHRISTmas!  I stayed with you all and camped out in the basement last night.  I'm a light sleeper so it took me a while to fall asleep. Grace's alarm went off at 6am so you all could go upstairs and check the tree!  Everyone had a Santa present and the elves filled our stockings.   The older three got drawing tablets and the twins got NBA Jerseys from Santa.  Daddy got a guitar pedal and I got a new Garmin watch.  :-) 

We also had gifts to/from each other.  I took a lot of photos and videos of your gifts and people opening presents.  Grace and Faith wrapped a lot of presents to look like animals or fun objects!  It was so creative!   

Gigi and Grandpa Jim appear to have the flu.  So they stayed home.  We took pictures of the Christmas crafts.  

I had Grace and made a pig.  Grace had Grandpa Jim and did a coffee themed drawing.  Grandpa Jim had Jeremiah and had a Pokemon theme.  Jeremiah had Gigi and made a piano.  Gigi had Joshua and made a car.  Joshua had Jacob and made a video game.  Jacob had Uncle James and made a green Santa hat.  Uncle James had Faith and he drew some theater scenes.  Faith had daddy and drew him.  Daddy had me and drew a Betty (bob)White!   :-)

Joshua got CDs, Grace got yarn items, Faith got sewing items, and twins got video games .... daddy got a fire pit and another guitar pedal.   I got juggling clubs, fun earrings, a bobwhite call, socks .... everyone got funny Funko Pops.  ;-)

This evening we watched the Charlie Brown Christmas.   

Today was so fun .... I loved watching you all open and enjoy your presents!   You all are such gifts to me!

Merry Christmas!

Sleep tight little ones!

I love you all so much!
