We had a wonderful Christmas morning.  The kids all got what they wanted and we all felt very blessed.  Grammy and Grampy {my parents} came and watched the kids open the presents.  My grandpa Stadtmueller came over and had breakfast with us.  We had overnight french toast, with whip cream and raspberries.  It was easy and SO yummy!!

Emma got an iPad & zagg case {the iPad was used}

Alyvia got a bike and my old iPhone 5 to use as an iPod

Chloe got a little toy pet hamster and a cage that it can run around in {and even though it totally sounds unfair since her sisters presents were way more expensive.  It was what she really really really wanted!}

The twins shared a hot wheel city with lots of new hot wheel cars. They also got scooters. 

I lucked out and since i did everyone's Christmas shopping this year.  I got an apple watch and decided to do a family gift and get a bosch, so I could make yummy homemade bread for everyone!

Tom didn't really want anything so he didn't get anything big, just a few books, he wanted to save his Christmas money and put it towards his birthday present {he wants a $1000 drone so he didn't get much for Christmas}

The girls all got to pick a barbie doll from their Great Grandma {who passed away the month before} and they were very excited!   

We still always do 

WANT

NEED

WEAR

so while they don't get that many presents -- it really is a lot when you times it by 5 kids!! 

We really try hard to not make Christmas over board, it still is always way too much since we know there are so many people that don't have anything.  

Opening a box of underwear and new bras!  Ha ha love to tease her whenever I can!

Their kids and spouses gave them a whole bunch of gift cards to restaraunts along with some of their favorite candies.  They love to eat out so this seemed like the perfect gift!

Grandpa Stadtmueller 

We normally only do stockings for each other.  This year I did get a iwatch.  Tom is tired of me never answering my phone.   

I think somebody had to use the bathroom. 

The kid is so stinkin cute!! He has so many faces he likes to make!

Why does Crew always have one eye closed. I have no idea, but we all think it's pretty funny!

Christmas disaster!!
