Gift exchange on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning fun!

We had our family gift exchange on Christmas Eve morning, and the festivities continued on Christmas morning when Santa came!

We all got mermaid blankets from Mor-Mor and Ben loved eating us in his Shark blanket!

Everyone also wrote a few notes to our Elf Pinnochio so he would move one last time, and to apologize since Alayna didn’t know you can’t touch the elf…

Thankfully, he moved one last time before Christmas, and left a nice note too!

Abby read “Twas the Night Before Christmas” to the cousins!

Before we went to bed, we made sure to put out our reindeer food and check out the luminaries in the neighborhood. It was beautiful! (Notice it’s Christmas Eve and we’re out in t-shirts and bare feet! We LOVE the south!)

Mor-Mor was the first one here and woke everyone up on Christmas morning! She was shocked everyone was still sleeping, but got us going pretty quickly (except Mommy…)

Waiting is hard to do…

And Ben was over the moon to see Santa brought him “Stinky the Garbage Truck”!

Abby didn’t ask for anything specific, but was awfully excited when she saw he brought her a rip stick!
