Most every year on the Carroll side, we do a name draw and everyone buys a gift for whoever they drew, so everyone gets something! We love doing this! We choose a price limit that works for everbody and go shopping! Brandy (my oldest sister) drew my name and she got me the cutest makeup case, a scarf, some earings and lip gloss! I was so happy to get the makeup case because mine was running out of room!
We did dinner at my mom's for Christmas eve. We had a soup buffet! There were 5 different soups, bread, rolls, sandwich stuff, and I made my famous cream cheese crab dip which was a hit!!! Also there were about 15 desserts!
We ate and then opened gifts! I always buy pj's for my kids to wear Christmas eve so they opened those and then opened the other gifts that they had. All year Austin has been bugging me for a pillowpet, but I had told my mom that's what he wanted for Christmas so everytime he would ask for one I would tell him maybe he would get one for Christmas! So the look on his face when he opened it was priceless! It was his very favorite present of all! Stratton liked his puppy pillowpet but he prefers cars and trucks much more. So he really loved the hot wheels track that Aunt Brandy and Uncle Scott got for him! Hadley got 3 babydolls! But I see her playing with Stratt's trucks more often.. oh no.. please not a tomboy!
Christmas morning is my favorite! I love the look on my babies faces when they see what Santa brought! The rest of the morning was spent lounging around, playing with toys, and watching the movies that Santa brought! Just to name a few of the gifts they got: Austin got the movie he wanted and the bike he asked for, Stratton also got a bike and he got a remote control semi truck which exceeded every other thing he got! He loves it! Hadley got a rocking horse and a baby stroller! I loved every minute of that morning!
