Peyton and Isaac had fun fishing
Got up at 5 and started preparing food. Got done at 8:30 and then got dressed before everyone started coming at 9. Cole was the first one here. He was 5 minutes early. Kenzie got here right on time. Vikki and family and Melissa and family got here shortly after 9. Kimmy and family were about an hour late because they didn't have any power at their house. The wind was really blowing. It even knocked over their basketball hoop. We had some cookies and punch and then Bill read the Christmas story out of the Bible. The kids were very good (Papa told them he would give a dollar to the best listener) They all got a dollar by the way. We started opening presents after that. The kids all started from youngest to oldest giving the gift they got to the one they had drawn their name. They got really fun things. Then we went from youngest to oldest to open all of their presents. Jacob, Adam and Eli were super excited about their nerf blasters. Max and Jack loved their Monster trucks that pull 200 pounds too. Isaac was pretty excited about having his cubby build a bear back. Poor Hailey. I got her an i tunes card and then gave her the rest in money, but I only put 10 in instead of $45 like I was supposed to. I gave it to her later. I got a beautiful calendar again from Vikki that she made up. Also got a small blowdryer that folds, a glass screen protector for my phone, a beautiful knitting needle bag that Kimmy made and a round wooden knitting needle set that you screw the ends on, the movie "Mom's Night Out", beautiful sweaters, jewelry and gift cards. Kenzie and Cole gave me a wall plug in with two plugs and two charging places.
Bill gave me a really nice 8 in one screwdriver flashlight. ha ha (I had picked it up and wrapped it from him to me.) Chuck and Sue came to eat with us. The girls and Sue helped so much it was amazing. It was a fun day and we were so blessed. Thank you Jesus for my family! Bruce got called in to work right after he ate. We watched the movie and had to stop because I had to take Melissa and three of her kids home as Bruce didn't get back. Vikki and Rody took Hailey to Melissas. Came back and went to Kimmy and Jared's church to hear Adam and Eli play the bells. Jacob is too old this year boo hoo. The boys did great and the church service was amazing. We sang beautiful Christmas carols and the pastor gave a great message. When we got home we watched the movie together and then went to bed!
