The kids were anxious to open stockings...we at least held them off for an hour or so. I love stockings and the kids were excited to see what they got. Once we started, there was no stopping so we moved on to the presents. Hootie the owl brought the kids big tubs of popcorn and even Santa's random family members brought cards - so funny!

As you can see, Mom and Dad gave The Gift this year! Santa's got nothin' on Mimi and Papa!
The kids spent the majority of the afternoon playing with their new gifts. Ah, some peace and quiet! I know screen-time limits are needed at some point....but for now we'll all take advantage!

We tried to get out of Mimi's hair for a bit and went for a walk to look at lights. This has gone bad a couple of years in a row now...I'm thinking next year we'll just drive! Claire almost walked out in front of a car and Fielder tripped and fell on the sidewalk. Oh well, we gave it a shot.
Mimi made a delicious dinner and after a giant plate of desserts, we were all tired and ready to head home. The kids were silent in the car playing on their kindles and then when we got home we were surprised to find that we had been elfed! Even though they were exhausted, we opened the Elf present and then of course made a stuffed bear from Claire's present from Mason Jr's because naturally we had to do that before bed!! :-)
Thank you Mimi and Papa for everything!!!
