It was a really was a really quiet Christmas morning.
Jason was gone to work and so it was just Mom and I for the morning.
I watched some Christmas movies and get the veggies all peeled and ready for Christmas dinner later today.
Jason had the turkey and the ham cooking, he is much better at it than I am so I'm happy to let him take care of that part.
Morgan, Kalem and Whitney were the first ones to arrive, they got to my place around 2:30.
Morgan's mom had been in town overnight so they spent the night and morning with her.
Morgan made us this sweet tray.
There were all kinds of goodies in it and it looked so good.
She did such a great job.
We brought up the 'stockings' and Whitney started opening hers.
Mom watching her.
Morgan started opening hers too.
She got a very special gift for Christmas this year!!!
Looks like there will be a wedding in the near-ish future.
They want to save money for it so they figure maybe in a year or two.
Very exciting!
The Groom to be - Kalem.
Kody, Haylee and the girls got there next (they'd been over to visit with Crystal and they brought Zepplyn with them to our place).
Then the chaos began.
The guys started bringing all the gifts upstairs and the kids started opening them.
Freya loved her necklace from Ivy and got me to put it on her right away.
Morgan and Kalem.
Opening Christmas presents.
Mom & I.
The little girls got tired of opening gifts pretty quickly and had to have a snack break.
It gave Eden a chance to test out the recliner she got.
I think she likes it.

The girls play together pretty well most of the time, it's really sweet to see.
Eden only opened a couple of her presents then she was done.
We'd find gifts with her name on them and give them to her and ask if she wanted to open them and she'd say No and throw them away.
Ha ha.
So Kody and Haylee just packed them all up and took them home with them and she can open them up later.
After everyone opened their gifts, they all packed up and took their stuff home.
Freya and Zepplyn were anxious to get back to Freya's to try out the new Oculus she got for Christmas.
So everyone left for a couple hours, except Eden, she wanted to stay with me which was perfectly fine with me.
She ended up having a nap in my lap for about an hour and I just sat and held her the whole time.
Everyone came back around 6:30ish for supper.
We had invited Crystal & Randy so they came as well.
Everyone had a game of Drawful.
The game was full so I sat it out.
It's really a cool game though - I think they all played two rounds.
We found a couple of Eden's presents at the house so we convinced her to open them.
One of them was a bunch of play kitchen items and she loved it.
She shoved all of it under the table and she and Whitney played with it under there.
I found this later - Freya was in the bathroom making videos.
I always think it is so funny how she is talking to all of her 'followers'.
She has such a great imagination.
Jason made me a homemade card.
And he got me a trip to Boston in October for my gift.
He wants to run a marathon in Cape Cod and I think I'm going to try to train and run a half.
I'm also looking forward to just seeing Boston again and Cape Cod which I've never been to.
I got Jason a trip in April - we are going to fly to Minnesota because we can fly there direct but then we are going to drive over to Milwaukee because Jason has always wanted to go there.
He is going to run a half marathon while we are there.
I might try for a 5k.
We had a quiet evening after everyone else went home.
And that's a wrap on Christmas 2025.
Until next time, be happy!
