Toys under the tree. The children's Secret Santa gifts for each other were mostly "wrapped" in paper bags, which I think was a brilliant idea (MY brilliant idea!)
The contents of Daniel's first stocking. (I don't think we bothered with a stocking for him last year as he was too little to care.) Daniel was especially excited by this light up plastic mace, which he loves to use to pound on things.
Kevin's mom came over for Christmas dinner, and blessed our 3 youngest girls with these cute hats.
She also gave the children "thinking putty". It is KIND of like silly putty, but with much more interesting colors plus it holds its shape better. The children love it! Some of it has strange swirly colors, other children got glow in the dark putty. Such fun.
So that was Christmas. We had a really GOOD day. The children got along well and enjoyed their presents, and we were healthy.
Then yesterday, Dec. 26th, Kevin and Isaac got sick. Isaac threw up, once. Sigh. But we're thankful for a very nice Christmas Day.

Love your carryout gift! Kevin is a thoughtful fellow, and his Santa shop is brilliant!
A church here hosts a shop like that and one little 3 year old got his favorite sister a pretty little dog bowl for Christmas. Everyone's smiling about that, because she has no dog.
