We headed to Rolfe late Sunday afternoon for Christmas. The kids spent a few days with Grammy and Papa before their cousins Sydney Lynn, Hayley, and Addy arrived. The kids woke up early on Christmas Eve morning to open presents.
Everyone got everything they wanted plus more! Maison was really excited about his i-dog, zero gravity car, and helicopter! Libby was really really excited about her potty girl, i-dog, doll clothes and her pink reindeer sweatshirt (John Deere) from Papa! I think it will take a while for everything to sink in! They always get such great things and so many things, I think they forget what they have gotten. Poor Izzy slept through most of the present opening, but she got some really great things as well! It will be interesting to see how the kids react when we unpack it all. It will be like Christmas all over again! Maybe we should put some of it away for next Christmas. I wonder if they would even notice?
This year Uncle Rog and Papa Dan rented a big bouncy house for the kids to play in at the barn! The kids probably spent 10 or more hours bouncing around in that thing! The adults even joined in on the fun.
One of Santa's helpers dropped some gifts off at the barn for the kids. Maison and Libby got these really cool alien masks that can disguise their voices. Unfortunately, the grab bag event didn't go so well. Maison got a Dalmatian that he wanted but a few of the adults kept taking it away, which wasn't really all that fun. With the help of his Mom and Dad he was able to keep hold of it. Libby was lucky in her draw in that she got the last number, but not fully understanding how the whole thing works she also was reduced to tears. The good news is that she got the last gift which was an ornament that we made of the kids singing "Jingle Bells" which turned out to be a great gift for her Christmas tree! This kids weren't too traumatized and will soon forget when they have another whole round of gift opening tomorrow!
