We wasted no time jumping in to open the presents as soon as the car was unloaded with the loot we got in Price. I will admit we did cheat and opened a few before we left on the 24th. But I'm not telling who's :)
Caleb got this fun robe from Grandma Braska. She made it herself. He liked it and it looks so warm.
We all received some Christmas cash from a few sources. Caleb got some from Great Grandpa and Grandma and from Great Aunt Sue. He wanted to spend it right away of course so by Sunday this is what he had acquired. 4 books, a new Wall-E game for the handheld Leapster he got from Papa Ringo, and Mom let him overspend a bit and let him get the Nascar outfit for Lightning the dinosaur he's been eye-balling.
The babies got money from Great Grandpa and Grandma, Great Aunt Sue and a gift card from little Maddie. We decided since they were pretty set on toys and clothes right now, we would pool the money together and purchase a 2nd front facing carseat for them( I know so practical and unlike us). We still have Caleb's old one so just needed one more. They will big enough for these before we know it! So this is what we got. And of course we did throw in a couple small toys for them.
So thanks to everyone for the great gifts and cashola. Mike and I are slowly chipping away at our Christmas cash too. We LOVED everything and I think this is the first year that we have done absolutely zero returns. We are keeping it all!!!!
We are starting the task of de-christmas-izing the house. I took down all the indoor decorations minus the tree today and the house is already feeling bare. Both garbage cans are full of wrapping paper and boxes and we still haven't even opened up some things. We will take down the tree and hopefully the outdoor decorations this coming weekend (barring any more snow). Then it will be completely over until next year. And yes, that does make me a little sad.
