Christmas morning! Santa came. The cookies and milk were gone and the reindeer ate the carrots.
Stockings were full and gifts under the tree - the anticipation for David was big. It took him three hours to fall asleep on Christmas Eve and he was up at 2:00am asking to come downstairs.
We held them off until 5:00, but then they were restless and Christmas morning began.
Down they stairs they come...
Santa left a letter this year - making sure that the gifts could be shared.
David got a new mountain bike...
And Adam a Nintendo Switch!
They got a stuffed warm "Holly"
And Oculus to share!
Stockings were full!
Elfie remembered that David told him to tell Santa on Christmas Eve that he wanted a gift card to In and Out... Santa came through.
The boys bought us gifts from their school Holiday shop. David got Angie a beautiful necklace and earring set. Adam got her beautiful pink earrings and a pink key chain.
Greg got a Cowboys cup and bumper sticker from Adam and a Best Dad mug from David.
The best gift under the tree!
Holly got a crinkle toy in her stocking - and she loves it!

Sunday morning we spent time ith Gram and Grandad. There were board games, a scavenger hunt for David to use his metal detector that Grandad set up, a great big selection of rocks with a target for Adam to use his sling shot and Grandad made grilled burgers and sausage for lunch.

And Darth Vader and The Mandalorian came at bedtime Sunday night...
