Christmas for us started on Christmas Eve. On Christmas eve we always open up all the gifts from each other (our siblings). And then we each open one gift from our parents (pajamas).
Hannah gave a present to Elijah.
Since Elijah is such a musical little guy he really liked his present. It says Elijah's name and you can program it to sing songs.
Bradley got Carter a present.
It was a paracord bracelet and a boys survival book.
I got Hannah a gift.
They aren't all in the picture but I got her a baby doll outfit and I made her a baby sling and an ear flap hat.
Carter got a gift for Hayden. It was some car detailing products, which he is really into right now.
"Elijah" got Bradley some bike lights.
Hayden got Me an external flash for my camera.
Then that night we opened our pajama's from our parents.
I new about Hannah's and mine though because, well, I made them. :)
For some reason I only have pictures of the younger 4 opening there's up; oh well.
~Christmas Morning 2012~
We started our morning by reading the story of the 1st Christmas in the Bible. Then all of us kids started opening our presents.
First everyone one checked their stockings which are always filled with little gifts and candy!
Then we opened our bigger gifts.
Hannah got another baby outfit. She loves baby's if you haven't figured that out.
The boy's had to open one of their gift's at the same time.
They both got a bow and arrow.
Hayden got a car buffer to go with all the rest of his car detailing stuff.
Then came Elijah's turn...
...what could it be?
It was a pop gun! He calls it his Bang. :)
.He is pretty good at shooting.
Hannah got a cute little baby doll so that she can act like mommy. :)
I got a bunch of camera lens and some other things as well.
The boys also got some guns.
And Hannah got some pink legos, and yes she actually wanted them.
After opening all of our individual gifts, mom and dad give us each something to open and all at the same time.
Carter (in the top left) had just opened his and he was very confused because it was a bolt of fabric. :)
After opening my box I found a note in it that said that we were going to be going to a Williamsburg retreat! We now have a lot of sewing in our future making colonial costumes for the whole family!
Elijah with his new Colonial gear. So cute!
After opening all of those gifts, family started coming over for breakfast. Then we opened and gave more gifts and just had fun with our family.
Here are the rest of the pictures from that day:
We had a very fun Christmas this year with Family!
"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord."
