Christmas Day

We haven't done much for gifts in the past since the kids get so much from others, but there was a larger gift for each of then that we wanted to get them this year.  Jimmy got a gift from each of the kids, a new charging brick and Switch controllers.
Esme got a new Bible with "all of the words." She's had a kid's storybook one for a while and it was a good time to transition now that she's reading independently.  Parker got his very own scooter, as you and he already knew!  I forgot he watches the videos I put on YouTube so he ended up watching the doorbell camera view of his scooter being delivered over and over again.  He was so excited to actually have it and you can see him riding in the video at the end of this post.
Esme's big gift was a Barie camper, complete with a 3' waterslide!
Esme was so excited when Jameson and Jaxxon arrived.  They played for a bit and she ready them "The Night Before Christmas" before second round of presents.
Jayden was at his mom's side so we opened gift from great-grandma Bette while waiting for him to return.  The kids got some new gloves and cash!
Jaxxon and Jameson also got some adorable holiday bears.
The boys were having a great time going up and down the stairs, but Jameson took a little tumble and bumped his head.  Parker was so sweet and protective afterwards and making sure they didn't fall again.
Round 3 of presents was our "Santa" bags put together by Nana.  These are always a hit!
Next we had lunch together.  Parker still isn't a fan of sitting in the dining room, so I sat with him in the kitchen for a whole before joining everyone else.
Then we started our final round of presents.  We tried our best to maintain the youngest to oldest order, but having two little guys running around was tricky.  We were all spoiled as usual.
I was hoping to find some fun boxers for Jayden, but waited too long and there wasn't much in stores so I ended up making some fake ones from paper that we put some cash in.
We spent the rest of the afternoon hanging out.  Grandpa really enjoyed playing with Parker's new gravity toy.
Esme has a great time in the hot tub and eating pie!  Merry Christmas!
