The random parts of Christmas

I know that I am silly, but I love Christmas, and some of the random things that happen are the best. When you have kids, you just know to expect the unexpected. As usual they didn't dissapoint. There were of course more awsome moments that we didn't catch on camera, but these are a few that we did.
This is the kids in their new Christmas jammies. I love kids in jammies, they are just cute!!

We have been teaching the kids about being responsible, doing chores, and trying to teach them about the value of money and tithing and all that great stuff for the past few months. With Christmas coming we thought it was a great time to put some of what we've been talking about into practice by letting them shop for one another. They had so much fun going to the store and finding a great gift for each other. This was Emma's response to the gift that Preston got her. I don't know if they learned a whole lot, but hopefully they will remember what it felt like to give.

Stockton opened his gifts and while the rest of us were busy opening and cleaning up and all that he went around raiding stockings. I don't know if you can tell, but he already has two chocolates stuffed into his mouth. Notice the wrappers littering the table, that's his handy-work.

We always have our big dinner on Christmas Eve, because I really like spending all of Christmas day in my new jammies, but I needed more rolls for the leftovers that we were eating that day. I had the dough made and the rolls formed. I was just getting ready to put my beautiful rolls in the warm oven to rise when I turned around for all of three seconds to get a piece of toast from the toaster, and was interrupted by a loud crash.

This is the culprit serving his time. I love the kid, but he is into everything right now.

It was a great Christmas. We spent the day playing games, having fun, and eating of course. I love my little family!!!!
