Christmas {2014}!

Holy Smokes, we finally made it to Christmas Eve!
My darling kiddos all ready for bed in their new jammies.  Better get to bed soon kids, the big guy will soon be here!... 
Santa came and did not disappoint!  Baby R got her first license to drive!   Santa must have thought she was extra good this year!
Big smiles first thing in the morning must mean Santa did his job right:)
So I had seen a fun item at a large Christmas expo my SIL and I had attended several weeks back.  I loved the idea but wanted the item tweaked to be more personal for Little R and the girl totally did what I asked to make this special for Little R.   I had one of these Knob Charms made for Little R and even had the saying that comes with it reworded a little bit to fit Little R to a "T".  If you'd like to see these Knob Charms, they are totally adorable: http://www.inkityblinkity.com/category-s/1842.htm 
Minecraft, Minecraft, Minecraft!  I think if he says it 3 times Minecraft would appear;) 
Told ya, Minecraft. 
Told ya again, Minecraft.  G actually guessed this spider before he even opened it.  It was killing him seeing the gift stare him in the face, he wanted at it, bad!  Good thing it really was the spider, don't know how he would have reacted if it wasn't;) 
I always save a gift for the last so all the kids know presents are over.  Some years they may all get an individual item, other years it's a combined gift.  This year, it was combined... 
I'm seeing smiles!!
Disney Infinity and all the new guys that go with it!!  My kids were so excited, they like to "game" like their dad but don't worry, we do put limits on their play time. 
Mr. D's gift was something he ALWAYS bugs me about.  He hates that I never put anything on the walls.  But to be honest, we have moved so much that I really don't want to.  Plus, I have a lot of house to fill, I don't even know where to start....till now.  I made a HUGE collage of gorgeous photos of our family from when my kids were infants to now.  I think I earned points for this one;)
And my last gift was a bit of a mystery.  Mr. D got creative this year I was shocked speechless, literally, this is so unlike him.  With each gift I unwrapped there was an envelope with a puzzle piece.  As our present opening went on, I had to keep trying to put my puzzle together.  Once I had all the pieces, I taped them together and read, "Pack your Bags" and on the back it told me to go look under my chair at the kitchen table.  What awaited me was a large envelope, when I opened it I was so surprised!  Mr. D knows how much I love NYC so he's taking me for Valentine's Day to spend the holiday in one of my favorite cities!!  Shows, museums, swanky dinners here WE come!!!

Merry Christmas Everyone!
