Merry Christmas

 We started Christmas Eve at Bryce and Erin's house for a little party. Corbin stayed upstairs with Gage the whole night and was loving the attention from him. 
Around eight we started Christmas Eve at Mark and Marianne's house. We read books and sing songs. The kids got their new pj's and a minky blanket.

 Christmas morning is magical with little kids. My kids didn't have anything to specific they wanted for Christmas so they were thrilled with everything they got.  Maggie only asked Santa for a present so she got more than she even asked for. 
 Kent didn't have any idea what was going on this year. He did like his drums though.
 After our own Christmas morning, we headed out to Mark and Marianne's for more presents and fun. Then to my parents for even more. We are so lucky and spoiled.

Santa

My Grandparents always have Santa come to their Christmas Party. This year he was different than usual, and way more mellow. The kids loved it, only one of all the kids cried. Maggie was a little leery. She ran up, got her present and left, but then she did go back and sit on his lap. 
Corbin asked Santa for a Nerf gun, and that is what Santa gave him right then. He was amazed!

Davis Christmas Party

 My family Christmas party was last weekend. My kids were so excited for it. Mainly to exchange gifts with the cousins. My mom gave each of the kids pillows with their name embroidered on it with a book and it was a hit. Everyone loved them. We had dinner and played lots of games. Such a great night with family.
The kids played ring the reindeer. Erin and Bryce supplied the awesome reindeer. It was way harder than we expected though. Ben is the only one who actually did it.
 We had a candy cane relay. We had to pass a candy cane down the row and back using only the candy cane in our mouths. It was a way fun game.
 The kids all exchanged their presents. Maggie got a treasure box that she got to paint and decorate. She was thrilled, she is a project girl. She would color, paint, anything all day, everyday.

Christmas Village

My kids all got a nasty strain of the flu this year. They would be sick for a day and the next day they were fine, then they would be so sick again. It was awful. We were supposed to go to milk and cookies with Santa at the Treehouse for family night, but I told my kids we were too sick. My family called and they were all going to Christmas Village, since it was outside I told them we could go. We met Matt there and walked about half of it. Corbin started feeling sick again so we went home. I was way impressed with it this year though. We had a fun time for the short time we were there. As we were leaving, Matt told Maggie they could go to Maverick. Corbin was definitely up for that.
