Christmas Morning

Guest author: Maris!! (with sidenotes by mom in parenthesis)

"We all lined up to get what presents so we know who was first."

Emma was opening a present and inside of the present was a fanny pack. It came with emergency water, bandaids, and some other stuff. (from Grammy, the kids all got one!)

 Owen found a big present and shaked it, from Santa was a big present that was not wrapped!  It was a big ship that came with another small ship, and he was so excited that he built it all that one day.

 All of us were looking at the things we got for Santa on our spots we had put them on the couch.  They had all got one type of big thing.  Emma found some gum!

 I was getting the thing that I've been always wanting: a slush maker!  We put in a drink and squished it on each side and ate it!

 Whitney was happy because she got a drone that she was always wanting.  She loved it so much that she brought it to her room and used it downstairs in the new playroom.

 Emma had always been wanting candy to her self. and a fingerling that she got.  And Owen showed Emma how to use a fingerling.

 Katelyn found a big box of candy that was chocolate!  She got a handful and put it straight into her mouth!

 Emma got her American Girl doll. (cheap walmart brand) She thinks that it's alive and she wants to play with it!

 Owen was opening a present and he saw more presents inside of the box that he opened.  It was super fun.

 A video of Maris opening a present.

I was opening a present. I found a BB8 book and another fun book and a coloring book.

(Whitney's big mystery present from Kate- a soccer vase with snacks.  She was so confused by the box!)

Katelyn was hugging a book she has aaaallllways been wanting.

Whitney was excited because there was a cereal box and it wasn't cereal, it was a Sports Magazine!!  (Sports Illustrated for Kids)

Emma got Rubble from Owen!!

I opened up my present and I got a fatty pack! (fanny pack lol) and a compass/light! (she really said compass slash light!)

Maris Murray was opening a present from her cousins, they were cards and pretty stickers and little fake foods. (from Japan!)

Whitney was reading a book that she had gotten.  (from Grammy)

Katelyn unwrapped a present and found pajamas!  And a favorite book that she had always wanting for her whole life!

Owen opened a book, he was feeling super happy about what he got.

Emma ripped and ripped and pulled as much as she could.  There was a teddy bear book with a flashlight!

Katelyn put all her chocolate in a big box!

(It was a fun morning!  I especially loved watching them open gifts from each other as usual. Emma had so much fun; she had been really obedient about putting presents back if she tried to play with them before Christmas, so I was happy she finally got to see what was inside!  Everybody got surprises, as well as things they asked for, so that was fun.)
