I found a remote control snake that we decided to give to Caleb. We left it unwrapped by the tree. That was excellent. The kids all played with it while they waited to open everything else. I will have to remember that trick :) They had already opened their stockings..... Maggie was very excited about a towel hair wrap. She loves to wrap up her hair after a bath but the towel always falls off. Funny girl. Hailey is playing with a poingo. I gave it to them as a family gift. They have all loved it. It's just a little pen thing that has special books to go with it. It reads the books alound and there are a lot of different games to play. I love that it's simple and small. The kids have all used it quite a bit. If you don't have one -you might think about it. It was only $10. It came with 2 books and I bought an additional 2 for $5. Caleb liked watching everyone else open presents :)
They all got some kind of project thing to do so they spent quite a bit of the morning quietly working at the table. Another excellent plan to remember for the future. Jackson is building legoes, Maggie is decorating girls with scratch off stickers, and Hailey is painting a little teddy bear bank that Jackson got her.
They have a secret Santa shop at school that the kids can bring money in to choose presents for whoever. I let them take $10 and they each chose a present for each person in the family. They were so excited to wrap them up and kept talking about how much everyone was going to love their presents! Very cute. I took Hailey to the dollar store to get presents for the other kids. She picked out a ball for each of them :)
I decided to make a hooded towel for each one of them. We've had small hooded towels before and they love them so I wanted to make bigger ones. I made Jackson's a bomb bird, Maggie's a butterfly and Hailey's a unicorn. They were actually pretty simple. If you didn't do a design, you could have towel done in about 10 min.
