Christmas 2018

This Christmas was a fun one! Santa was good to all of the kids.



He brought Gabe a board game he has had his eye on,
Selah a laptop for school,
Mig a toy drone,
Faith an Asian family for her dollhouse,
Adrik a cool helmet and knee pads,
CharliKate a horse,
and Tali ballet slippers.







After opening Santa's gifts and our stockings we had a lovely brunch of biscuits and gravy, cinnamon rolls and fruit. Then we opened gifts from each other. We always open gifts in order from youngest to oldest.












Selah, Faith and Mig all received terrariums containing snails from the Stepanovs.


We have a dungeon master.




Selah made super thoughtful gifts for everyone this year.

Wearing the scarf Selah gave me:




The boys have been learning woodworking from our neighbor, Mr. Ron. This year he helped them make us Christmas gifts and they are amazing!


Gabe made a beautiful mantel clock:


And Mig made an airplane shelf that looks awesome in Byron's study!



Faith's favorite gift was definitely her snail. She named him Taco after the Cowboy football player Taco Charlton. Not because Taco is slow...but because she thinks he is a cool guy with a cool name and her snail is really cool, too. 

We had tamales for dinner and everyone had fun the rest of the afternoon with their gifts. 





The best thing about Christmas is all of the family time. Such a fun Christmas!
