Since we knew that we would have to travel to Utah on Christmas day, we asked Santa if he would mind visiting us a day early.
Guess what?
He said yes.
But we didn't tell the kids; we wanted it to be a surprise.
Here are the kids with their stockings:
Some favorite gifts were: the girls dollhouse, that Scott made from some wood given to us from another dollhouse (Thank you!!),
The puppets and the puppet stage from Grandma Linda,
Russell's helicopter,
An ornament made by Emalyn,
Star Wars legos,
Some of the interior design the girls and I are working on for the dollhouse,
And this is Tyler about one hour after opening the presents,
So it was a great Christmas. We didn't put as much under the tree this year, on purpose, and it was nice to be able to concentrate more on the individual gifts and givers. Also, the kids were not as overwhelmed as they usually are on Christmas day. So I think this is a tradition we'll be continuing. I

What a fun idea! I'm into the less is more mindset when it comes to Christmas too. I'm glad to hear it works well when the kids are older! I love you!
