Christmas Eve was really fun this year. Brett and his family were here and it has been along time since we have had Christmas with them. Dinner was yummy, soups, bread bowls, salads, and desserts! After dinner the present unwrapping began. This year the kids gathered together in the living room, they were placed in a semi-circle and the ceiling fan was turned on. Why you ask? Articles of clothing were placed in the blades of the fan ie. socks, bibs, slippers, then the fan was turned on. Who ever was hit by the objects flying off the fan blades got to open their presents. Yes, yes, this about drove my mother crazy, but the kids loved it. We told them to close their eyes and L was the only one to follow instructions, which is why we love her so so much. No one else wanted to be hit with their eyes closed. There was laughing, screaming, squealing, and yelling. But it was the funnest, by far, present unwrapping we have ever had!
The kids got great stuff. Hayden got a coloring book, and some FILA Basketball Shoes. Hunter got his much desired Cincinnatti Bearcats shirt and a NEW pocket knife for scouts. Harley got an awesome dice game called Farkle and a beautiful grey dustbroom sweater.
We had a great time and stayed until the kids were exhausted and ready for bed. We rushed home and went straight to bed so that Santa could come!
