The Young and the Restless

Merry Christmas!

Finally the moment we had been anticipating all season long was finally here. First the obligatory stair picture before rushing downstairs to see if Santa really came. 

The older the kids get, the smaller and more expensive their presents become! Although it always seems like the younger ones get more presents, we end up spending the most on the older kids! Kylie got new Vans shoes, curling iron, leggings, gel nail kit, thread wallet, Victoria Secret underwear, hair products and make up to name a few.

Jayden's main gift were air pods. Some totally overpriced wireless headphones that he just couldn't live without, but he was happy! He also got a jacket, shirts, Ethika underwear, a Thread Wallet phone case and Xbox base charger. 

Maddox got a new ripstick, a few of his other favorites were the Nintendo Switch to share with Ryder, games for the Switch, legos, a shark spinner that he decided to return for another game, a new Xbox controller, Kanoodle and ear buds.

Ryder got a new bike. A few of his other favorites were the Nintendo Switch, games for the Switch, a lego set, a spinner shark that he returned for more legos, a Squishy that he couldn't seem to live without and new headphones.We also got a new wake surf board for the family and I made blankets for each of the kids. 

We spent the morning eating cinnamon rolls and playing with their new toys. I had Pentatonix's Hallelujah on repeat all day and it was just the way any Christmas day should be spent. 

Jason always gets the award for the best gift giver. He got me a Ninja, that I didn't realize I even needed, but now I don't know how I ever lived without it! I also really wanted a juicer and have loved fitting more vegetables and fruit into our diet. The kids also like having a fruit bar, Ryder's signature drink is apple, carrot, orange and strawberry juice.  Almost all the gifts I got for Jason he returned. But he did like the spotlight I got him for the lake and I'm still trying to convince him to let me go ahead and get that wall rack for him to hold the wakeboards in the garage, but he keeps insisting that he will make one. 

We usually have no desire to leave the house on Christmas but on a whim we decided to go to the Illumination drive through light display since we didn't get a chance to go earlier in the month. I'm so glad we went, it ended up being really cool. The kids loved hanging out of the sun roof and watching the millions of lights dance to the music. It was the perfect ending to another wonderful Christmas!
