Wow, Dad wrapped his own presents for Mom!!

Teaching Isaac a song on the recorder

Adam woke up around 4am and lay in bed until around 6:00. Then he got up to watch tv. Jared and I were up around 7:00 and we woke the other boys. Got to Nana and Papa’s around 9:00. Wyatt was so excited to see everybody he sounded like he was singing. It didn't take him long to calm down.  Dad read the Christmas story from the bible. Then the kids did their secret gift exchange. Jacob got an itunes card, pop rocks and a figit spinner from Max. Adam got a ningago 3ds game, pop rocks and a figit spinner frim Evan. And Eli got a star wars lego set, candy, silly string, and a figit spinner from Jack. Then we started with the oldest to youngest kids opening gifts from Nana and Papa. All the kids got $15. Jacob got a battery powered nerf rival gun that shoots really fast. Adam got a minecraft lego set, a mario 3DS game and a McDonalds card. Eli got a couple lego Ninjago sets. And Jared and I got some new stools for our kitchen. Kenzie made Jared a frog pendant and a couple button pins. One of them has Truman on it. And Travis made Jared a cool glass marble. Kenzie made me a beautiful pendant ornament and a button pin. Mom made me a dishcloth. I also got a Tim Hortons card, a wall hanging, and a really nice kitchen knife. Then Mom and Dad opened their gifts. Dad had just bought himself a new american flag which is what we had gotten for him. Haha. Mom and Dad liked their new mugs. We ate around 2:00 and the food was really yummy. Chuck came but Sue stayed home because she wasnt feelling well. Stacey and her family came too. We had a nice visit until it was time for them to go. Then we played a game of 3-13 and Nana won. Got home around 10pm.  Jacob had fun unloading his new nerf gun down the hallway.  Then he unloaded it on Daddy. Daddy lifted his shirt until he couldn't take it any longer. Eli went to the barn with us to spray his silly string as we fed the sheep.
