Christmas Morning

Santa brought big kid bikes! Mom even got one but it was from Dad and the kids.

This was Clay's favorite present. We took the kids to Target to pick out a present for each other. We were distracted and talking to friends we saw at the store. We saw Clay and Em dragging this down the aisle toward the cart. It was almost the largest box he could find. We tried our best to talk him out of it. First of all they were supposed to pick out the gift they thought the other would like and we would keep the kids separate and the carts in different areas so they couldn't peek. At home Clay played with his secret present from Emmie through a hole in the box all month long before Christmas.

This is the present Emmie chose for herself for Clay to secretly buy for her. She was really into Barbies this year for the first time. She also looked at this present all month. It was one of the first she opened this morning. Next time we'll take the kids on separate trips and lock up the gifts. Somehow we'll have to lock up their lips so they don't spill the beans the second they get home from the store.
