This year we stuck with our rule of four.
The kids got stockings with lots of small things in them then four additional gifts to open.
Something you want, something you need, something to wear and something to read...it is our way of not overspending and overdoing.
Our daycare group adopts a family for Christmas every year and honestly we spent more on our adopted family than we did on our own.
My kids are so blessed, there just isn't much that they need!
Then it was off to Grandma Wilma and Grandpa Kenney's for the Howell Christmas.
We were so stoked that AJ was still in town.
Granny Grace got to come down for the party as well since Grandma and Grandpa have moved into an apartment on the same campus as Granny Grace's nursing home.
Grandma Wilma has not been doing well but she was as feisty as ever.
Gavin received the Lincoln Logs he has been wanting, Logan some walkee talkees and Kate her shape shuffles that were at the top of her wish list!
After we ate brunch and opened gifts we went into the nursing home to sing some Christmas carols.
I grew singing 4-6 part harmony with my family completely acapella and to this day, nothing makes my heart happier then hearing all those sweet voices together.
Merry Christmas!
