Christmas Presents

I had to show the progression of our Christmas presents under the tree. We wrapped all the gifts for our kids and a few family gifts we had so far.  When the last picture was taken all we had left was one last gift that wasn't to be released until the 16th.

Oh, yes our kids are spoilt, we can admit it.  Also keep in mind there are five of them!!  So, the number of presents you get is always multiplied by five!  I know we bought a lot!  You can’t even see the ones we stashed behind the tree.  We started in September this year to make sure we got what we wanted and didn’t have to rush around waiting till the last minute.  The only problem is, we think it increased how much we bought!

Also there are no pictures, but Makaela has really been trying to “build a toy land all around the Christmas tree”.  She stacks gifts for stairs, sits on others, and works on her rearranging.  If you look at the last picture on the right side of the tree are the ones she likes to stack and stand on.  The presents have just distracted her from taking ornaments off the tree.  Surprisingly, we’ve only had to rewrap two gifts.  They were both hers, so the boys made sure we knew she messed them up.  I’m sure if it was one of theirs, I wouldn’t have heard about it.
