Christmas Day

I love Christmas morning!

Opening stockings

I didn't know much about this Harry Potter game other than the fact that it had great reviews. I assumed it was some sort of trivia game from the books. Turns out it is a cooperative, deck-building game. We love it and have spent many hours playing it this vacation!
(Camel Up was a family gift from the Dockstaders. Laser Tag was a family gift from Santa.)

 Carter was so excited about the Escape Room in a Box. He got to stay up till 10:30 one night working on it with his mom and dad.

Austin's big present this year was a gum ball machine. I'm tired of him begging for a quarter or bringing his own quarters to spend on the gum ball machines at the grocery store. Now he can re-use his money on his own gum balls.

Bryson has had a lot of fun with the science experiments in a box, which was a present from Grandma and Grandpa.

Not pictured are some experience gifts that Santa brought of rock climbing and a trampoline park.  I got Matt some really nice white shirts and some cologne. He got me a new pink running jacket, griddle, and rollerblades. Carter and I have enjoyed rollerblading around the neighborhood together. I love having a fun exercise option!

Matt's parents and sister's family came to visit in the afternoon.

Austin opening some Paw Patrol clothes.

Carter and Bryson got a soccer ornament and Caleb got a baseball one.

Playing with cousins and with MeeMaw's puppy.

Austin being silly and wanting his picture taken 

We hosted my family that night for dinner and games where Clayton deep-fried a turkey with his new fryer! It was very moist and yummy. We love that Lindsey and her family were able to join us this year for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's so nice that they live within a shorter driving distance now!
