The kids all fell asleep watching a movie in the kitchen last night while we stayed up late to finish wrapping presents and stuff stockings. This morning, we all hopped into the cars to hand out presents to kids on the street. Each child had one bag of small gifts and a few things of their own they decided they no longer needed or wanted to give away. We drove to a nearby community so they could find someone their own age to hand the gift to. Giving gifts is one of their favorite parts of Christmas morning. After we got back, they were finally allowed to go upstairs and see what was beneath the tree!
What did Santa bring?
Lots of gifts for each kid. Thanks sponsors and donors!
What's under the tree for me?
A skateboard!
Legos!
Trying out his roller skates with a little help from Oso.
A gift from her sponsor.
Rachel gets presents too. Thanks family!
So much to play with.
Now on to the stockings.
And like that, many hours of wrapping are undone.
Easily the most enthusiastic and entertaining gift opener. He's already put on his new outfit and one of his roller skates when his name gets called for another present.
