Christmas Eve 2015

We made it to Christmas Eve!!  It was touch and go there for a while!  Just kidding - it's been a fast paced fall and I'm happy that we have two weeks off from school to recover a bit before we jump back into the grind!  Tonight we had our traditional dinner of Chinese food - and after a year and a half here, we finally found a good place!!  The kids opened a present from us and a present from their siblings.  The Christmas Eve present opening is kind of a fluid tradition and changes based on what's going on each year and how old the kids are.  They seem to really enjoy opening a few presents and they really enjoy playing with the few things that they get - new jammies and a toy or two - pure magic!!!

A new scooter AND a BB8 sweatshirt!

Car carrier truck!

 A fluffy lap blanket from Aoife!

 Frozen legos!!

 Gramma and Daddy Jim enjoying the chaos:
