Christmas get's more fun every year with little kids. We definitely had a smaller Christmas than we have had before with Chelton not working this year but we still had a good one. The kids had a lot of fun!! We had a lot of fun also having our secret elf Percy come leave them treats 12 days before Christmas in their shoe. Kylie is still asking me if she can leave her shoe out for Percy. She just doesn't want Christmas to be over.
We had a Christmas party the Saturday before Christmas with my family at my mom's house. It was a lot of fun. We had good food and fun. I was in charge of the games and we had a lot of fun with the kids. We played Christmas bingo and Christmas pictionary and my sister Mandee did a fun pass the present game. The hit of the night had to be a game I made up called "The 12 days of cousins." We had each kid be a different day with a different action. When it got to their respective day, they had to do their different action for that day. (like 8 Kylie's jumping and she would jump, 7 Connor's dancing and then he would dance, 6 Garrett's robot and he would do the robot, etc.) The kids really hammered this up and we were all laughing pretty hard. It worked well because the kids are a little bit older. We tried it with my in-laws and the kids were too young to really get into it.
We spent Christmas Eve with my in-laws and had a fun night. We played some more Christmas Bingo and had a yummy dinner. We opened our Christmas jammies and read the Christmas story. We got to spend it with Chelton's Grandma Spendlove and the kids got to open the presents from her. That night we didn't have too much to wrap so we actually got to bed pretty early.
The kids had a fun Christmas Day. We visited with both grandparents again and then just rested and played the rest of the day. It was a very fun Christmas this year!!!
