Christian's family has always had the tradition that a sheet is hung to block the kids' view of the Christmas Tree and gifts on Christmas morning. The kids all line up, youngest to oldest, and then when all is set, Dad gives the okay to let the kids come in. This year we had to block two openings to the Christmas wonders.
The girls were SO excited! It's time to go in!
First the kids hunt for their stockings, which are all hidden. They can look at all their stocking gifts and open any presents near their stockings, which are from Santa.
Santa gave Aleya her very own American Girl-type doll!
Amara also received an American Girl doll--Julie.
Orrin's dream came true. Mom and Dad are worried he'll shoot his eye out . . . or someone else's.
Mom's been hiding this in the garage for four months . . . a fanatastic 2nd-hand find.
A scarf, Lindt chocolates, and carmels for Andrea. Thanks Santa!
An Easy-Bake Oven? Do they still make those?
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Capener!
BARBIE FASHION FAIRYTALE DRESS!
Headless Orrin.
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Yates!
After opening presents, Dad always makes a great Breakfast feast. YUM!

Looks like you had a great Christmas! What a beautiful home!
Thanks. It was a nice Christmas . . . particularly because unwrapping went smoother than usual with less arguing and fighting. Whew!
