Christmas 1.0 December 2022

Christmas 1.0 December 2022
We wanted the stockings to hang, but they were heavy & some didn’t have a hanger….so I improvised (what you can’t see is that it’s up near the 10-ft ceiling, so it was a challenge getting them up…) 😊
One of the girl’s favorite authors came out with new books!! Lizzy was pretty excited
I love Lucas’s excitement! 💕
Ellie was so excited about more magnetic blocks!! ❤️ (sorry for the blur…she wouldn’t stop moving)
A special present from Opa & Oma ❤️
One with her looking ❤️
Whaaattt?? We surprised the kids with the complete series of the old b&w Robin Hood series. One of their favorites 😍
Lucas’s eyes!! 😂 Mike gave Logan, Keira & Emma some new Nerf guns (they all really enjoy their Nerf battles, but some had their own & some didn’t)
Lizzy got some pots she can decorate & a fun book from Opa & Oma🤩
Ellie was so excited to get some ornaments of her own!! Thank you Opa & Oma!

**Note: My parents (Opa & Oma) gave each of the kids some special handmade bead ornaments… my paternal Grandma Connie (who died when I was 14) made them & used to give them out as Christmas gifts to friends & family. We have several on our tree, but it’s special for each of the kids to have some also. ❤️ ** (see pictures below for some of ours)

Enjoying a game from Aunt Kim “Do You Really Know Your Family?” So fun! Thank you Aunt Kim!
