Christmas 2014

Thursday - December 25th

It's a good thing that I didn't sleep for a little while, then wake up and wrap the gifts, because the kids woke up a lot in the night.  Luckily for me, I'm a deep sleeper and didn't wake up to any of it.  From 2:30 am on, they kept waking up.  Around 3:00 am, they went into Grandma Moser's room and woke her up.  Apparently, they woke roger and his mom up a few different times in the night.  Roger was nice enough to let me sleep until 7:00 am.  He warned the kids before they went to bed, that he was going to let me sleep until 7:00 am, so they were prepared for that.

We let the kids decide if they wanted to open the gifts the slow way, where each person opens a gift at a time and that way we all get to see and enjoy what each person got or they could just go crazy and rip open all the gifts as fast as they wanted to.  They wanted to just rip in to the gifts as fast as possible.  So, that's what we did.  Roger was in charge of getting video of all the fun and I was in charge of snapping pictures.

 This is after all of the gifts were open.  Grandma Moser prepared some meat, cheese, and crackers for us to enjoy.  Brinley was really excited about her new cupcake/tea set.  She couldn't wait to use it and make some yummy treats.

 Roger and Grandma were tired.  Grandma took a nap on the couch and Roger went upstairs for his nap.  While they slept, Alissa and I started putting together her K'nex rollercoaster and Parker installed the new game we got from Aunt Kristy, Disney Infinity.  Alissa took a break from setting up the track to play the game for a while.  I like putting stuff together.  It's like a big puzzle.  I had fun working on the Roller coaster on my own.

 Brinley took a shower and got dressed in her new clothes to have a tea party.

 Here is Alissa's Roller coaster all put together.  She loves it!

 We took Alissa's Roller coaster up to her room so it wouldn't get ruined.  Then we spent the rest of the day making videos.  All of the kids want to have their own YouTube channels.  They each took turns making videos of them playing Minecraft or Disney Infinity.  Brinley's channel is going to be called funnybrinley.  She will do a variety of videos, she said.  So, we made a video where she showed off all of her gifts.  she was kind of wanting to do it like a toy review or something like that.  Then we did a cooking show, so she could try out all her new cupcake stuff.  We really made a lot of videos today.  I need to get a good video editing program so I can start uploading all of their fun videos on YouTube.  Here is a short video of Brinley making cupcakes.
