A wonderful Christmas with many blessings!

We are so blessed to have G-Ma with us again this Christmas! It is always a day full of wonderful memories and laughs. We started last night by playing the Saran Wrap ball game. Claire's expressions when she unwrapped a gift she really wanted were priceless!

 She loved this squishy that goes over a pencil and cannot wait to use it in school!

 Today we opened gifts while the food was cooking. Claire was so grateful and thankful for each gift this year, it really warmed my heart! She loved her sequin key chain.

 Claire was super excited to have her Dad open his gifts from her. She picked out this cell phone holder. Since Jeff likes to watch movies on his phone while laying in bed before going to sleep, she thought this device would come in extremely handy. Now he no longer has to hold his phone to watch the movie!

 This might have been the best gift opening of all! We got G-Ma a prank gift, an Earwax candle making kit complete with a helmet with hose that helps you get your earwax collected! She opened it and was very puzzled before she realized what it was and was then grossed out! We told her to open it and inside it tells her it is a prank box! We laughed so hard! We are pretty sure we are getting some sort of candle from her next year for Christmas!

 I love Claire's expressions! She asked Santa for a skeeball game and when she saw that he had gotten it for her, she was so excited!

 It is an ongoing joke in our family that for every holiday, Claire gets Jeff Zebra Cakes. We couldn't let Christmas go by without the classic gift for Dad!

 G-Ma got Claire a science kit so they will be plenty busy over Christmas break developing secret formulas!

 I love this picture! Claire asked Santa for a hamster this year when she met with him. He told her he would leave an extra special gift in her stocking if she left him chocolate chip cookies and carrots. This stuffed hamster was in her stocking and Claire couldn't have been more happy! She loved it!

 Then Claire opened up tickets to see Toby Mac in concert. She was so shocked and it took her a moment to realize what the tickets were for. I think she almost got teary eyed when she figured it out! The reaction was priceless. Thankful for all the blessings in our lives this year! Looking forward to what 2019 has in store.
