How do you do your Christmas?
We sit "Santa" gifts out and they are unwrapped. The boys get three gifts from Santa because the wise men brought baby Jesus three gifts.
The boys shop for each other and wrap the gifts for one another. This is really sweet.
Chris and I give the boys a gift from us.
And the stocking goodies are from us not Santa.
Some of the Santa things bug me...I do not prefer to hear parents say "if your good santa will come" or "santa's not coming if you act like that". REALLY? Don't use that on your children...just have consistent discipline. They should not think how must stuff they get on Christmas moring is a reflection of whether they are a good or bad kiddo. So we don't use Santa to try to make the boys behave. It's very simple he comes and brings the same number of items...3...every year...because that's what Jesus got! Sorry to rant it's one of my many "soapboxes".
Sam got his OWN skateboard...super exciting!

Legos were a big hit for Tanner and I think Chris too!
My sweet Sam loved the candy...not suprising...this was pre breakfast!
Tanner has been begging for tickets to The Magic School Bus...of course since he wanted to go Sam wanted to go also SO Chris and I gave the boys tickets. Tanner is thrilled...we have read every book from the library at least 2 times! It's a "family date"...the show is at 11:00 so maybe lunch after with a trolley ride!
