Santa delivered some cookies this year.
Last year we tried reading the Christmas story between opening gifts. It was pretty much a flop. Growing up, we always played games as we opened up gifts. We decided to do a combo of sorts this year. We put all of the Little People Nativity into a bag. Everyone took turns drawing people out of the bag. When they were all accounted for, we began to read about the birth of Christ from the Bible. As we got to a character, if you had that person, you were able to open a gift. It worked much better for the kids this year.
Last year we decided to do the 4 gift thing for our kids--
The kids also enjoyed gifts from our extended family.
We enjoyed just playing around for the rest of the morning and afternoon. All Max wanted to do was
"rock the guitar" with Daddy. Have you heard the song Hosanna Rock by Little Praise Party? It's how he learned to "rock the guitar." (Plus it is a super great album for kids!)
