Christmas Day - Santa Came, Church and Christmas with the Raynors

Santa Came!

Caleb's pile 
Ready to open their eyes and see what they got! 
She was excited about her bike but didn't want to ride - she wanted to open presents! 
This boy and his BB gun! 
Caleb with his stuff  
Ella ready to open more presents! 
They wanted to start with their present together - Twister!

Santa went shopping at the book fair :)  One of Ella's requests was a "Piggy Book" 
A cross neckace

This kit to play school was a hit!

The chaos of Christmas - and then we headed to church to celebrate the real meaning 
Our family got asked to light the Advent Candle at church on Christmas morning 
On stage and speaking - not my favorite place to be!
Sweet brother and sister posing by the tree

All the stockings were ready
Ready to open presents!
Caleb's pile - Mammy does more than Santa! 
Owen with his stuff 
The girls with their presents 
We go around and open one at a time - Caleb was waiting for his turn 
A new pocketbook 
Tool organizer - it was heavy so mom wrapped the picture on the box 
Picture calendar is always mom's request - she also got a cross necklace, nightlight, pedicure gift card, Corksicle cup and some stocking stuff! 
When it was Ella's turn she would get everyone's attention and wanted us to watch her! 
Smocked baby clothes - so cute! 
Big nerf bow and arrow 
Kindles for everyone! 
The kids said this was their favorite gift

Pedicure set is right up her alley! 
We all got new sheets!  (Ella was trying to get out of the picture - ha!) 
Brooklynn and her stuffed elephant
Playmation game  - Avenger style 
Monogrammed vest from Kent and Melanie 
Some of Kent's present orders got cancelled so he racked up on Amazon gift cards 
Owen got some tools to help Kent in the yard 
We both got new coats - North Face for me and Patagonia for Kent 
Owen also got a leaf blower and loved it!
Targets for his BB gun 
This girl finally got the Barbie pop up camper she had been wanting! 
Gun safe for Corey - he got dad's hand gun so now he has a safe place to keep it
We all got duck boots! 
Corey was glad that he didn't get duck boots - he got hiking boots!
Brooklynn got rain boots (and Ella got fuzzy crocs but wasn't cooperating for a picture!)
Chaos of Christmas - we sure missed dad!  He would alwasy hold babies while we opened presents and make sure all the paper was picked up and trash taken out! 
Enjoying their Kindles and Snackeezs
All these toys and this girl is playing in a box 
The stash we got at Mammy's - she always does too much but she always gets just what we like!
Papa and Carl arrived and the kid showed them how to work the Kindles 
Giving the bunnies their Christmas gift 
Carrot treats 
They were just happy to be out of their pen and eating grass 
Setting up her Barbie pop up camper 
Playing with his Playmation game 
Ella wanted a turn as Hulk 
Mom made a delicious meal - Roast, ham, rice, green bean casserole, corn, butter beans, strawberry pretzel salad and rolls! 
The kids table 
Playing with their gifts from Papa - the game Pie Face and trucks 
Ella got a Little Live Pet mouse 
Picture with Papa and Carl 
After dinner, Caleb lost a tooth! 
We finally got around to opening stockings after dinner 
Caleb took a close up of his tooth gone- ha! 
Kent decided to throw Caleb's wall crawler way up high - so he was trying to shoot it down with his bow and arrow 
Merry Christmas in Heaven Dad!  We sure do miss you! 
Back home and playing with their toys 
Giggle Wiggle is a fun new game 
Ready for bed in their matching PJs 
Ready for bed and the tooth in his tooth fairy pillow

What a fun filled day celebrating Jesus' birthday with our family!
