We woke up to stuffed stockings and gift surrounding the tree. Santa was quite generous this year.
Then I made sure to take pictures of the kids in their new Christmas Jammies.
...Success!!! I finally have a boy who keeps hats on as a baby...
We then got down to business. And like I like to do, I took 1st gift photos.
Eric played Santa and was up to last years tricks, making Ailey give him a hug before he'd give her her gift. She still fell for it. I wonder at what age she'll be smarter than Daddy...
There was a big gift that everyone was curious about. It was a gift for Ailey and it took all of her brothers helping to get it opened.
Then I took pictures of everyone's gifts.
Eric and I worked with Santa and got the family a pretty big gift. We got a Wii U with the Disney Infinity game with a lot of characters to get us started. We also got a few other games and a controller.
...The Adventure Time Game that Tanis is holding was a gift for both Tanis & Shaylyn...
...The BYU hat was part of his haul...
...Jace's gifts. He was too busy napping to take a picture...
We spent the next few hours playing with new toys. Eric spent the next few hours putting the new kitchen together. He was a little more than frustrated with Santa.
We then got ready to go to Eric's mom's house. We had a nice lunch and then did gifts. It was our first Christmas without Dad and it was certainly difficult and strange. I put together a scrapbook page for both Eric's mom and his brother, Greg. It was the poem Greg had wrote and recited at the funeral. I asked him if I could make a scrapbook page out of it and he gave his approval. I thought it only fitting that he got the finished product.

Both my mother in law and Eric's brother seemed to like it and that was all I was hoping for. We spent a little bit more time with Eric's brother and mom before heading to my parent's.
Can't say I remember what we did at my parents besides opening gifts and the kids getting somewhat spoiled, but it was still a nice night.
