Christmas afternoon 2018

After opening presents, the kids wasted no time in digging into their new colorful sculpting clay. Oliver made Anzu ...


... and Maddie made a whole Christmas scene.


Later, we went over to Grandma Mandy & Grandpa Paul's for another round of gifts and dinner.



And that night, Oliver wanted to sleep with his beloved new dragon sleeping bag.

On Christmas morning, the kids were very excited to see what Santa had brought them.



Oliver was excited about a box of Annie's shells, one of his favorites!


Maddie was also impressed with Santa's insight into her interests.


Oliver won the prize for biggest gift.


He was not alone in finding Christmas morning a fun and satisfying experience.
