[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 397091, member: 1233"] Merry Christmas to ALL!! We had a peaceful morning opening gifts. Jessie was up until about 3 am wrapping and bopping in to tell me about various things she was doing/needed. Mostly batteries. We forgot to get batteries but the season blessed up because everything needed AA and we had plenty - but were out of the AAA size! Only on Christmas does that happen, lol!!! husband woke me up at about 5 to do the Santa gifts, and we realized we hadn't wrapped the majority of our gifts. I thought he had and he thought I had. So we wrapped them then. Instead of buying wrapping paper, I used an old Christmas magazine and tore out pages with holiday scenes. I had to tape a few together, but they looked awesome when I was done. I also used some holiday fabric and safety pins for bigger gifts. Then the kids let us sleep until almost 8 - unprecedented "sleeping in" on Christmas, lol!! It isn't as "big" a holiday as other years, but the gifts that were there are heartfelt and bought specifically because the other person will really LIKE them. So it was all a BIG hit. I found a U Build it monopoly game for the Santa gift. I was worried because I hadn't seen or heard anything about the U Build It games, but the kids were thrilled!!
