She is in wonder that she can actually hold him ... and Ian is just a sweet kid! As I look at this picture, I can see him leaning in on his little baby one day with this same sentiment!
Good Bye Sam & Winter! Until 2019, we will miss you!
Ian worked hard to get Santa's cookies and milk together. He put on this Santa hat when he got home and actually ended up sleeping in it Christmas Eve! Too Funny!
GranConnie sent this halo and Nutcracker bow-tie. The kids thought they were pretty fun!
Funniest thing was that on Christmas morning, the kids were going through their stockings and realized that Santa had put Ian's stuff in Bonner's stocking and vice versa. Oops! As if that wasn't bad enough, Ian's stocking was in front of Bonner's gifts and Bonner's was with Ian's stuff. Santa must have been pretty tired by the time he got to our house :-)
Bonner got a Ukelele as her big gift. And Ian got the Harry Potter Great Hall lego set. They got games and books to share and Nerf guns for hours of entertainment!
We had a surprise doorbell ring at 8:08 a.m. We went to the door to find Stewart with his iPad. When the kids asked him why he brought his iPad, he said "Well, I wasn't sure if you would be awake yet." So, basically he showed up as he is allowed to do on Christmas morning and rang the doorbell with the intention of waking us up if we weren't awake ... and he spent the entire morning with us which just made for a very uncomfortable Christmas morning. I guess he was upset that I wouldn't give the kids to him from 12:45 to 5 p.m. so out of spite, he left his wife on Christmas morning for 4 hours. So very sad for her and for him. Bonner was counting down the minutes until he left. I only let the kids open a couple of gifts from me while he was here - I hated it, but I was not going to give him the benefit of seeing everything Barrett and I had to put together for the kids.
Gift # 1 for Bonner was the Cricut machine. She wasn't sure what it was - she actually thought it was a mini oven! But once we got the app going on the iPad and I showed her some of the things it could do; she actually said "This is fascinating and completely satisfying to watch it cut!"

Once Stewart left at noon, my parents came over and we opened presents with them. We finished up opening gifts about 3 p.m. Ian worked on his legos all afternoon and Bonner did several Cricut projects with lots of paper! Barrett and I made a delicious "Not Yo Mama's Mac and Cheese" and he grilled out steaks and chicken for everyone to enjoy. My mom went to see Elijah, but Steve was able to join us for a yummy supper!
