We returned to the Farm and prepared for the big gift opening event of the evening. Connie made a delicious chili that everyone loved and it was perfect on such a cold night. After dinner we each set out our presents around the fireplace and it was a bit overwhelming - there were SO many! Connie kept saying that they hadn't "gotten much" for the kids since they made a sandbox and bought a bounce house and slide for the kids! Needless to say, there were tons of gifts to go around! The kids had such fun opening their gifts and playing with their things before it was time again to open another gift. Olivia could care less about it all, although she really fell in love with her gifts once I opened them for her. She really loved the animal train music box that her Grandparents bought her. Sofia got a horse set from her Grandparents which was a huge hit for her, as well as hot chocolate mix from her Papa.
All the gifts were opened and toys were being played with when it was time to get the kiddos to bed so Santa could visit. Sofia, Chandler and Jillian each chose a cookie to leave for Santa and Grandma poured a glass of milk which was set next to the fireplace. Everything was ready for Santa's arrival!
Sofia double checks that her stocking is hung and ready.
Kiddos are all bathed, in their pjs and ready to open Christmas presents!
Just "a few" presents this year!
