On Christmas morning, we opened our gifts at home. Santa brought Cooper a bike, an easel, and a play-doh set. From us, he got a Fisher-Price computer system, clothes and other little things. Carter gave him a book about a big and little brother. Santa brought Carter a TV (since that's the ONLY thing he asked for, Santa decided to go for it!), motorcycles, and Battleship game. From us, he got clothes, shoes, and other little things. Mommy got clothes and jewelry and Daddy got clothes and a photo calendar. Even Raleigh got new bones and treats!
At Grandmommy & DD's, we opened even more gifts! Carter got a scooter, helmet, gameboy game, playstation game, wolfpack stuff, clothes, etc... Cooper got the Noah's Ark playmobil set, those cute camo/dinosaur rain boots, clothes, those adorable camo pj's with a little Raleigh on them, etc... Mommy got more clothes, boots, house stuff, etc... Daddy got clothes, wolfpack stuff, playstation game, etc... Our family gift was an original numbered Bob Timberlake framed print called "Carter's Quilt." It was given to us with instructions to give it to Carter when he marries. So, of course, I boo-hooed!
At dinner, we were each surprised with one last gift...MONEY! Grandmommy & DD decided to carry on Gran's tradition of the money giving each year! When I politely informed the boys that they would be putting theirs into their college accounts (because this is what we always did with Gran's money!), we were surprised with yet another gift...they told us that they had set up college accounts for each of the grandkids on their first birthdays! WOW!
We had a wonderful Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with all of the people that we love the most!
