This year we started off with a couple of performances. Jessica and Thunder sang "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" and Skye, Sunny, and I sang "We Wish You a Merry Christmas". Then Skye sang a solo of "Baby Jesus" and Skye and Thunder sang "And Santa is His Name-o".
After dining on Pizza and Salad (although I'm not sure any of them ate even one entire piece of pizza) it was time to open presents. This year the three older grandkids all helped to play Santa, Even though they can't all read yet, they all recognize the letters of the alphabet and could tell who to take the gift to by the first letter of each name. Of course, they can all read their own names (except Storm). It's always so much fun to hear their squeals of excitement as they open each new gift.
