Christmas morning

I also made part of Charis' Christmas present. A playground set and beds and table and chairs for her doll house.Again we asked Charis to call for us, so she would not see her gifts. But she forgot and kind of saw it on her way to our room. But it was still fun.We traditionally start Christmas morning with reading the bible story of how Jesus was born but since she had some presents that were not wrapped, we let her play for a little while first.She was so excited to get to read out of her bible this year. Then we did our other tradition... we thank Jesus for something this year and give him a gift - something we promise for Him for next year. Charis got to write her own this year, we just helped her with spelling.Then Charis played while Kris made breakfast.
Skot joined us for opening presents. First we started with her stocking...
We were able to take our time and even play a little with the new things before opening the next one, I hope we always get to enjoy Christmas morning this much.

Robot bank and money to put in it.Another robot ornament.Paints and watercolor paper from Skot!!!Presents from the Henry's ... dolls and candy canes. She immediately lined them up and then played with them on the new playground.
Thank you Henrys, Charis loved them!We also gave her a motorcycle, horse and bike for her dollhouse, some princess dolls and eight robots to protect them.We played and ate lunch and then headed over to the Elkinton's. We hung out and played poker and opened a few more gifts and stockings. Thank you Elkinton's and Boren's for Charis' gifts. We had a great Christmas - thank you everyone for helping make it so great!
