We got up this morning and were off again. We headed to Virden to spend the day with the Kershaw's. As per our tradition we started the morning off with biscuits and gravy and homemade donuts. We can barely get that finished before the kids are chomping at the bit to open presents, as if these are the first gifts they've opened.
My favorite part was getting to give Eva and Izzy their dollhouse. Eva had asked Santa for one, but Uncle Adam told Santa he was going to build one. Eva was super bummed Christmas morning that Santa had not delivered her a dollhouse and it broke Sara and Travis's heart. So it was wonderful to see their excited faces when Adam hauled in their very own handmade dollhouse with hand chosen wallpaper from Alex and Amelia.
We spent all afternoon opening and playing with presents. The kids loved loved loved their new light sabers. Clearly the older Kershaw boys are super excited to be raising another generation of Star Wars fans. Alex was over the moon with the entire paper box full of Lego's he got from Uncle Tony and Ada loved her new baby doll, bottles, and stroller. The girls loved all their new dress up outfits, and Amelia loved the 6 new pairs of dress up princess shoes.
We wrapped up the night by sending the train around the tree a few more times before Grandma & Papa pack it up for the year. This Christmas was one for the books for sure. So blessed.
