Our plan this year was for a more "experience" type of gift for Christmas. We only have 2.5 more years of guaranteed holidays together with the 5 of us, then, it's college and jobs and new relationships, etc. So, we planned to make the most of the time we have together.
On the agenda this year - take a few days in London and Paris before heading to Berlin for an annual conference!
Our tree this year. Just as beautifully decorated as every other year and we set aside a day to celebrate and read the story of Jesus' birth as is our tradition.
Then, they opened a few small gifts that we had picked up earlier in the year. Each of the kids got a new WiiU game and a Disney Infinity character character that I had picked up on eBay.
New pajamas that I had brought from the US last year.
Gwangi's new game and Infinity character.
Krypto's game and character.
I had also purchased these t-shirts for the boys this past summer. They definitely got a kick out of them.
We love art, and this was a big hit with the kids.
Having a leisurely day, playing some Disney Infinity.
Indy got some yarn for me, via Amazon.
I had a couple of old movies sent out for him.
I printed up a certificate for each of the kids with some spending money that they had received from grandparents and aunts and uncles. I used the rest of the money that was sent toward the cost of the trip.
Oh, and they each got a Disney pin for their lanyard that I had picked up from eBay back in 2017.
Comics that we bought in a large batch and brought with us back in 2017. They all mentioned how they love to get these old comics for their birthdays and Christmas each year.
Found an old "Atlantis" pin for Krypto. He was totally surprised!
Caleb with his gift certificate.
And, with his comics.
Sissi with her Oswald pin.
And, with her comics.
Finally, Sissi with her gift certificate.
I got the Emma expansion set to the "Marry Mr. Darcy" game from last year. We haven't played with it yet, but hope to some time this month.
Another war movie for Indy.
