Blake and I are still kind of working through how we want Christmas morning gift giving to look at our house. We really like the 4 gift rule (something you want, something you need, something to wear, something to read). We like Jackson and Claire exchanging gifts. We also have this silly debate about wrapping gifts. I think everything should be wrapped. Blake thinks nothing should be wrapped. It doesn't matter in the scheme of things...but it is a yearly discussion. So we kind of stuck to the 4 gift rule this year...a few extra presents got in the pile, but I think that is okay.
Jackson was totally excited this year...So. Much. Fun. He had asked for a hula hoop, Batman robe, and a Jake and the Neverland Pirate ship for Christmas. So (for my memory only):
Something you want: Jake and the Neverland Pirate Ship
Something you need: a winter coat
Something to wear: Batman robe and slippers
Something to Read: The Kissing Hand book
Claire got him a Mr. Freeze Batman toy.
Claire was really sleepy Christmas morning. But, has been cooking all kinds of things since Christmas Day.
Something you want: a kitchen
Something you need: a winter coat
Something to wear: an apron for her cooking endeavors
Something to Read: A book of Nursery Rhymes
Jackson bought Claire a Baby Alive doll. She LOVES it!
We had such a fun morning. I am so overwhelmingly thankful for this life I am blessed with.
