For the last two years, my grandparents were with us for Christmas. This fall, they moved to North Dakota so it was sad to not have them here. But we still had a nice day with my mom and dad.
The kids woke up early to find a family gift under the tree -- a Wii. They were very excited.
Next up were stockings.
We then had a nice breakfast and moved on to presents. We get the kids 3 gifts each year. One is something they ask for, one is a practical gift (this year it was clothes) and one is coupons. They get 2 coupons -- one to use for a date with mom and one with dad. One is a meal at a restaurant of their choice and usually includes appetizer and dessert. The other is for an event or activity. This year both Conner and Chase got tickets to an upcoming Toby Mac concert and Brenna chose Build-A-Bear for the third year in a row. The younger 2 boys don't participate in this yet so we just have fun buying them a variety of toys.
Chase and Conner both asked for Nintendo DS Lites.
Brenna asked for a My Twinn doll. The eyes were more green than hers, but other than that I think there is a pretty good likeness.

Later my mom made a yummy ham dinner and we all spent time playing on the Wii and with various new toys.
Unfortunately Scott had to work the next day so he had to leave for Denver by mid-afternoon. But we still had a wonderful Christmas.

Looks like you had a great time. Matt and Ally also got DS lites they have been played non stop here.
Looks like a wonderful day, Robin. :)
Happy Belated Christmas!!! I really wanted to get one of those game systems too but by the time I decided to start hunting around for one they were wayyyyyyyyy over priced. I am going to look in the next few weeks to see if prices go down. Happy New Year!
Gotta love that Wii. My two gamers haven't quit playing it yet. Merry Christmas!
Looks like a wonderful Christmas together. :)
I love the coupon idea!
