Christmas Day! 2015

 Not sure what face Jason is making above, but we put out our Christmas cookies and mug of milk on the fireplace for Santa last night before heading to bed.  Emily and I read my old book "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" (copyright 1985) and for once, she was very easy to put to bed!  Jason had Timmy up very early this morning, but fortunately, he allowed me and Emily to sleep in until 8 AM before he demanded to open presents.  Caroline joined the early risers at 6:30 AM and Emily and I forced Garrett out of bed by 8:15 AM.

Hmmmmm......hygiene products?  What are you saying Mother?

Gold circle decals for her walls--over 200 various sized circles 

Gold music notes to hang on the walls!

Shopkins!  Yay, more things to jam my vacuum cleaner (Mom says).

I found these Walking Dead bobble heads while visiting Carrie in PA and they were a huge hit with Garrett!

Earrings from Etsy for Caroline!

The money load!  New laptop for Garrett!

Spicy little boy was SO EXCITED about his new power tools!

I introduced Caroline to Pusheen the cat with a book and coin purse!

The frenzy has begun!  The struggle is real!

Timmy got Caroline a Pioneer Woman cookbook, then "borrowed" it to read some shrimp recipes.

Jason's Santa present was a keyboard that does everything but your taxes!  It plays drums, instruments, demo songs, etc.  It even has a microphone and a stool.  As you can imagine, it was one "show" after another today....I'm going to need to buy stock in Excedrin Migraine.
