We played Christmas Pictionary!

Christmas Eve DAY!
Christmas book reading....Room cleaning....
Time with the Cooper cousins!
Our Seafood Feast was supper yummy!

Gift time!
Gma C. sharing her Christmas loot.

Christmas Eve!
We took a crab leg to my dad!
It's been a Christmas Eve tradition
for years!!!!
Open PJ and book time!
Emmsie and Kate wanted to match...
so they got matching dog p.j.'s!
😌
Story-time with the Poppi!😌
Iced molasses cookies left for Santa!
and reindeer food!
{we were hoping for snow...
but it came 24 hours too late}
😜
Those who weren't too sleepy watchedone of our fav's to end the night....
The girls all slept together in one room...
except Kyleigh-
she had to work the graveyard shift at the hospital!
😩
Magic happened in the family room!
I use this gift method...
3 Wants {one Gift from Santa, one Gift of Love-which is something very thoughtful or particular to that child's interests, and another simple want}
1 Need,
Something to Wear,
and Something to either Read, Watch or Play.
7 gifts total for each person-
{that's counting the p.j.'s on Christmas Eve}
I have found this gift method keeps me
organized and sane
when prepping for Christmas!
You should see my notes. LOL
😅

Christmas Morn 2018
Reactions on Christmas morn
Hannah's was classic!
She is obsessed with this new
boy band called
"Why Don't We"
They are coming in concert to Utah.
Santa brought her concert tix!
She wigged out.
It was great!
Awe!!!!!
I LOVE THESE SO MUCH and no one else does!
So win win for me.
Kate drew a favorite animal picture
for each of her sisters!
And Emmsie gave her sisters a necklace of their favorite animal...
{the girls don't pick a sibling to give a gift too,
if they want to give gifts to all of them on their own
they can, and if they don't want to...that's totally fine too!}
Kyleigh gave her sisters each a
good for one
"Sister Date"
it was hilarious!
{She's always good for a treat run!}
The girls got the hubs and I gift cardsto different restaurants..
some new that we've been wanting to try
and others from some of our favorite places!
It was really sweet!
😌
Kate gave her twin cousins
these jars of slime...
and a gag gift for her other BOY cousins....
Poor Ky crashed on the couch
having been up all night!
*****We always go to my parents Christmas afternoon
to visit with my family.
Before we go...pic in front of the tree.
Always!
