Christmas Morning at Home
Before I post a picture like this I feel I should explain myself. The amount of presents under this tree is alarming, but we live in Wisconsin, far from any family or friends. We don't get to go from house to house doing mini-present swaps with different portions of the family. Additionally, most of our family and friends send money or gift cards for us to buy presents for the kids and each other. In fact, Theo and I bought a only few small things for our mom's, some work pants for my brother, handful of little things for Alyssa, and something for Cousin Aidan and Auntie Caitlin. We spent $38 on Hunter, and not a penny of our own money on Ben. LOL. Everything here is from the two grandma's staying at our house, Me-Maw Angie and Grandma Anita, my grandparents Helena and Reino, Nana Cindy and Papa Matt, Auntie Caitlin and Uncle Allan, Auntie Di and Uncle Tom, Great Grandma Margaret, Great Grandpa Rademacher and Santa, of course.
Not all of the presents here are for the kids either. Just FYI.
Another thing to consider before you think we may have lost our minds... we have 6 months out of every year where we are mostly in the house due to cold or snow. The house is our playground, our classroom, the place where anything can happen. Especially with Theo potentially leaving for the Middle East this January, packing the coming year with as much fun stuff to do as possible s important for our boys and us. And our boys really, really play with their toys. It's cool.
With all that said, here's Santa' loot:
