Our Christmas

Merry Christmas!!

Jenna was excited to see all the presents under the tree.

Drew got a few new dress shirts for work.

Grant hanging out with one of his (hand-me-down) Christmas presents. It was great - a friend of ours is finished having children and they're all done with the baby toys, so she gave us some things and we used those as Grant's Christmas presents. I love these squishy blocks. They're bright and colorful and easy for him to hold (and chew on).

Jenna was all about opening presents this year and since Grant wasn't really able to do it himself, she got to open her gifts, Grants, of course Drew and mine and Bailey's. She got the crown she's wearing in her stocking.

Jenna opening Bailey's gift for him. I just wrapped a chew treat we already had. It gives him something to do while we open the rest of our presents.

Yay!!! I got some Cricut cartridges this year...and I LOVE it! Now I can't wait to start scrap booking again.

Jenna opening another one of Grant's (hand-me-down) gifts.

Jenna got princess slippers from "Santa" this year. We decided to give one gift each year from Santa. It's so fun for the kids to get excited about Santa and as long as we emphasize the real reason for Christmas, we don't think it will be a problem. The kids know the gift that's from Santa because it's the only one wrapped in Santa paper. I got that idea from a friend and thought it was so cute!

I found this Disney princess tent at a garage sale and couldn't pass it up! As you know, Jenna just LOVES her princesses and I thought she and Grant would enjoy playing in it. It's now in the basement (which is quickly becoming a toy room) and she loves throwing all her toys in it and then sitting in there. I can't wait for when Grant will be able to play with her too.

Lastly, Jenna got a play kitchen. We got it from our neighbor whose daughter is too old for it now. I thought this was something Jenna would enjoy at her age. We kept it in the kitchen for a little bit, but have since moved it down to the basement as well.

I thought I would be able to post our other 2 Christmases on this post as well, but I realized I have way too many pictures. So I'll break them up into separate posts. :) More Christmas to come...
