We started with our stockings on Saturday. We have the tradition of opening one present a day starting a week before Christmas. The kids are so excited, it's fun to see their anticipation. We fill their stockings with simple presents. For example, Lauren opened a calculator yesterday and was thrilled with it. She keeps saying, "My calculator." We got one for each of the kids because they fight over ours all the time. One dollar buys a lot.
Sunday we celebrated Christmas with my family. We stayed overnight on Saturday night and then opened presents on Sunday. It was fun for most of us, except Scotty. He was up all night in pain. To make a long story short, he had his gall bladder removed yesterday. He is doing fine, but I'm sure he's glad it's over.

My mom made matching pajamas for Aubrey and her doll Jenny. It was Aubrey's request after looking through the American Girl catalog. I think they turned out very cute, and Aubrey is very pleased.
