We played White Elephant along with the Bingo and had quite the array of gifts. Lick & Stick Gummi Bandaids, Ice Box w/candy canes inside, who knows how old sparkling grape juice,cookie cutters, and...a fur muff!
After the game we sat down to watch the annual McArthur DVD. It was mighty fine if I do say so myself (only because I made it). We laughed and reminisced on all the wonderful things we did this year. I really am so blessed to have the family I have and to share in some wonderful activities with them.
We were able to get home and put out cookies for Santa and reindeer food out on the grass. The kids were asleep by 10 pm and Nick and I were finally in bed around 12. Around 1:30 Nick stirs and then sits up right and says "Drew!". That woke me with a start and I get out of bed to apprehend the boy who is taking a peek at Santa. I walk into my kitchen to find Drew pants down ready to pee in my kitchen drawer! Poor kid was sleep walking and so I walked him to the bathroom and then back to bed without a word. Funny kid.
6:30am Liv is cooing and Ryan is basically jumping on my bed telling me Santa came! We all roll out of bed and open gifts and are done by 7. Santa brought Ryan his Legos
Drew Bumblebee Potato Head
Liv Musical Animals
We went over the the Larson's at 10 and had another exciting gift exchange. Around 3 we went to the McArthur's and had another wonderful exchange. My kids are so spoiled!
We went to see Fantastic Mr. Fox with the cousins and Grandma and Grandpa McArthur and Aunt Keena and I have to say I laughed almost the entire time. It was so funny! After the movie ended we headed home and the kids were in bed by 930 so needless to say it was a LONG but wonderful day!
