Coming down Christmas morning in the jammies they opened on Christmas Eve. The girls had a Peanuts them and the boys had a Star Wars them. I bought them online and didn't realize Thad's jammies were actually Halloween until they arrived. I was too lazy to return them. Welcome to my crazy pregnant life.
Santa came!!!!
I can't believe how happy the kids were getting their beanie boos and mini beanie boos. I told Ben the kids probably would have been happy if we would have just given them a bunch of beanie boos for Christmas.
As a kid, my sisters and I would make signs with our names on them so that Santa would know where to leave our presents. That way we wouldn't confuse our gifts with someone else's. The kids made their own little signs and Lily added a sweet little note to Santa.
Skyler's starting to question Santa's existence and it's killing me a little bit. Lily still 100% believes. It'll be strange if we have to explain things to Skyler before Lily.
It's nice when you've finally gotten to the point in adulthood where you can ask for presents you want and not necessarily things you need. This year I asked my parents for a specific tea set. I love it. Naturally we made my favorite Very Cherry Berry tea during Christmas lunch. For breakfast we had breakfast casserole with fruit. Someone in the family who happens to be pregnant thought that the idea of breakfast casserole on a croissant sounded like an ideal breakfast sandwich. It did not disappoint. For lunch we had avocado, bacon, and tomato sandwiches on croissants -- one of our favorites.
The kids have been asking for us to throw them a gender reveal party since before I was even pregnant. They have been on a long journey with us through all these pregnancies and still ask me on an almost daily basis if the baby is still alive in my tummy. I think all these miscarriages have really made them appreciate the idea of having a baby. We made them go on a hunt around the house for clues as to where the gender reveal gifts were. Here is the video of the reveal.
