The socks and garters from Uncle Jim
We went to Chris' for dinner and opened the presents from the kids and the santa hats Pat and Jim gave the boys. It was very loud with three of them going at once. Goldie was afraid of it at first and now she gets all excited when she hears the hat.
Brandon's Santa gifts
Jessie's Santa gifts
The kids got up at 4AM. I didn't find out until later that they had flashlights and peeked at the presents. I made them go back to bed and they slept until 6:30. They opened stockings and their santa gifts. Jess got a purple ukele and a box for her seashell collection. Brandon got a firetruck pumper and a military jeep. They were very happy. We went over to Mom's to open our stockings and then back to our house for the rest. GG came for lunch and stayed for the gift opening. It was a good day. No one was sick, no arguments, and everyone got what the wanted.
I asked Brandon if there was something he would like us to make for him since we were making the dollhouse for Jessie and he wanted a me to paint him a landscape
Mom, Brandon, Jessie and I made a four generation painting with some of GG's paintings.
