Because we were planning to go to visit family on Christmas Day and the day after, we wanted to have our Christmas on the morning of the 24th.
I filled large trash bags with each of the children's gifts and wrote their names on giant tags.
This is how Ray and I opened every present.
The fun started when the girls started opening their bags. We had also filled balloons and put them in their bags so that when they opened it the balloons would float to the ceiling.
It turned out to be a great idea and so much fun. The presents in the bags were also wrapped but the balloons kept little ones excited while they waited for their turn to open.
Our friend Josh made this amazing table and stools for Susannah and Josiah. The pictures that he put the top of it are some that Rachel had started when she was a little girl. The clear coat will keep them preserved for a long time and the table is perfect for snacks and playing.
Our ceiling was dotted with balloons all day long. The purchase of a small helium tank form Walmart was well worth its price.
