Here's Abigail's "novel" she wrote to him. It's quite cute...she asks a few times if he's real (see previous post) and also tells him the cheers that she did at her Christmas program.
Here's the first note that she wrote...again asking if he's real and also asking how old he is.
This year we did something different for the kids. Each child was getting four gifts from us that followed a theme that I read about online. They each received:Something to wear
Something to read
Something they want
Something they need
It worked out SO well for us and is something that we will do for many years I'm sure! The gifts for the kids were more thoughtful and the kids knew about the theme and were excited to open each one.
Henry's gift from Johanna...Playmobil vet and horse and vet and dogs.
Johanna and her Fisher Price mailbox that I got on Black Friday for $0.99!!
Abigail opening her jewelry box.
Johanna is sitting on her "need" gift...a new potty!
Abigail showing off one of the pieces of clothing in her American Girl trunk...underwear...so funny at 7 years old!Here's what the kids received, following the theme.
Something to wear: Robe and socks (Abby), Robe and slippers (Hanks), Pjs and slippers (Jos)
Something to read: Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew books (Abby), Drawing books (Henry), Llama, llama, Red Pajamas (Johanna)
Something they want: American Girl trunk with outfits (Abigail), huge Playmobil set (Henry), FP Mailbox toy (Johanna)
Something they need: Jewelry box (Abigail), Alarm clock (Henry), Potty and underwear (Johanna)
They also got gifts from each other and then some great loot in their stockings.
We had my parents over again and had Lou Malnati's Pizza (YUM!) as is our tradition. They kids had a lot of fun and were really good. They got to play for awhile and are now fast asleep.
Tomorrow we celebrate with Colin's family in the morning and my family in the afternoon. What a fun day!
