We opened present from each other, Grandmommy, and Mamaw and Papaw. The kids all draw names and buy for one person. It's fun to see what kinds of things they choose.
Grandmommy got the kids some new fun school folders (and some spending money)
Katherine bought Lauren an entire box of mandarin oranges and a dream catcher decoration.
Regan bought Regan a really neat magnetic pen that can be reshaped. I didn't get a picture out of the box. Oh well.
Hudson bought Grace a DIY flower pot and a plant.
Lauren bought Hudson a lamp for under his bed.
Grace bought Katherine a water art DIY activity set.
Benjamin bought Regan a cute little Christmas bear and a notebook.
I always get the kids an ornament for Christmas, so we decided to get Grace a little Christmas tree with ornaments.
Shadow wanted a present, too.
This is the little girl, Real. She is the one that brought Regan flowers :)
Another little girl stopped by our house and brought this card. It was so cute. I love that she added herself into the stocking with our family.
Emma also gave Regan a gift :)
After Regan's party, Xiao Jun and the girls passed out gifts. They bought Regan a nice bookmark.
They gave Benjamin a puppy bank,
Katherine a cat light,
Lauren a yellowish heater,
and Hudson an ATM style bank.
Hudson practicing for an upcoming recital. This is the first time that all 4 have played their parts together. They did pretty good. I can't wait to see the real deal....he is soooooo excited.
HayHay and KK are back! The kids had gifts waiting for them :)
And I was happy to hold their new baby brother, Boaz. He cries a lot, so Selina is one tired mama.
Phinehas got a little jealous that his mom was holding the baby. so we gave him a baby to hold :)
Baby Caleb has got to be one of the cutest babies out there :) His dad, Better, was lifting him up to touch the streamers.
