Christmas Week

2019-12-29

We started the week off by going to see Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. It was super exciting but Daddy made me promise not to spoil the ending by talking about it - so go see it!

We went back home to have a quiet Christmas Eve and Christmas Day after all the craziness of the last three weeks of making cookies and folding boxes and going to markets. Mommy did most of that, so she deserved a break from running around and being busy.

At Culver's for lunch on Christmas Eve.

Christmas morning: What's in my stocking?

Army men!

Wait...I got Mac and Cheese for Christmas? (Daddy was just tricking me.)

My favorite candy!

The Army stuffy I wanted...

You tricked me, Mommy - someone else didn't buy it, you did!

We didn't take any pictures of it, but we watched The Lord of the Rings movies during the week as well. It was a little hard to follow, but I liked the battle scenes. And the volcano.

Saturday we met Grandma Wynne, Grandpa Al, and Uncle Neil at Dan and Deb's house for a little party. And I got some more presents.

Time to open some more presents.

Wonder what this could be...

LEGO!

A card that plays Jingle Bells!

It's blurry and in a box - but that's an iPad I pulled out of that blue bag!

After the party I went home with Grandma and Grandpa to stay for a few days before school starts again.

Thanks to everyone for the cards and presents (even those that didn't get pictures), and I hope you all had a good Christmas and have a Happy New Year!

And get ready for more adventures in 2020!
