Christmas Morning

Christmas Eve Day I decided to let the kids open up one gift.  The gifts that they got from each other.  Some times we've let then do this in the evening but then there really isn't any time to play with what they got so this year I let them do it after lunch…..such a good idea!

Grant was thrilled when he saw the Hunter (with a little help from mom) had got him cowboy boots and a cowboy belt!!!

Hunter and Logan were sharing this gift.

They got a pair of air soft guns!

Thanks to Kiersten and Logan had Hunter's name so he actually was surprised at what Kiersten got him and what he got for Hunter.  

Kiersten was pretty excited to open her gift from Grant!

She knew it would be good because mom would have helped a lot with it!

It didn't disappoint!  It was the EOS chap sticks just like she wanted and a great purse from Justice!

I love that Kiersten wanted to write a note to Santa!

Look at those cookies…..with that much sugar Santa should be able to make it through his long busy night!  We ended up sprinkling the food for the reindeer's outside.

We told the kids we weren't doing the 3 a.m. thing again this year.  Being 8 1/2 months pregnant I wasn't up for that.  So they had to wait til 6 to wake us up and they actually listened!

Grant was super excited to see that Santa brought him just what he wanted.  This was the exact truck he had been talking about for months.  It even has a trailer with a  skid steer just like daddy's!

Santa surprised us all when we saw he brought not only one electric scooter for Kiersten but also one for Hunter and Logan to share.  This was all Kiersten wanted for Christmas!!  It will be funner with two though for sure!

Grant got a remote control truck which he was super excited about!

Hunter got a scope which Justin convinced him was for a gun he already has….

Kiersten was really surprised and thrilled when she saw we got her a laptop!!!

Kiersten

To Use- laptop

To Amuse- Clothes jewelry, shoes

To Cherish- Roller dance bag for competitions

Logan's dream came true when he opened his gift……a AR Drone helicopter was all he could talk about.  Besides wanting his own gun.

Hunter loved getting camouflage clothes for hunting and a note that promises that Justin will sign him up for the hunter's safety course and take him deer hunting if he gets drawn!!  Pretty sure Hunter would have been happy with just this gift!

Hunter also got a remote control this year…..his is a ball that is controlled using your iPod.

Grant got riding gear to go with the 4 wheeler he got!!!

The 4 wheeler came a few weeks before Christmas because his daddy couldn't wait to give it to him!!!

Grant

To Use- his own iPod

Well the boys were surprised when they were taken on a scavenger hunt around the house and found they each had gotten a gun!!!

Now those are some huge smiles for Christmas morning!!!

This year Justin and I got a washer and dryer set for the basement.  YAY….no more hauling kids laundry upstairs for me!  So we didn't buy anything else for each other.  The kids did buy Justin some of his most favorite treats and they made up a scavenger hunt for him to find them.

They did a great job with it!

We have some future Hunter's right here.  I love Grant's face!

I think Grant was just as excited about the guns as the other boys were! 

The scooters were a HUGE hit!!!

Justin playing with Logan's helicopter Drone!

Not sure if it's a gift for Logan or more for Justin….hahaha….

but seriously it is a pretty fun toy.  It even has a video camera on it that shows up on the screen of the iPod or tablet you use to control the device.  It's pretty awesome!

Grammy Boswell made the kids a fun Dr. Seuss quilt!  We all love it!  She is so talented and we sure benefit from her talents!

So Christmas night I hear something in the garage and I go out to find Justin opening up 3 boxes.  Come to find out he had bought several things that him and the boys "NEEDED" for sighting in their new guns.  It was the funniest thing seeing him trying to sneakily open them up so I wouldn't notice that he had bought so much stuff.

I had fun teasing him about it for sure!

They went right out Christmas day and sighting the 22-250 in.

Thanks to Grampy Boswell for his help!

The boys had a fun time out at the rifle range.

All in all it was a fabulous Christmas morning at the Cluff household!!!

It is kind of sad when you're super excited about getting a washer and dryer for Christmas…..guess I am just getting old!
