- My brother Mark and his family arriving on Christmas night, a day early! Jessica and I heard a noise and looked toward the window. I didn't see anything, but she yelled, "Is that Uncle Mark?" My mom had come Christmas Eve, and my brother Matt and his family had been here about an hour or so, and since we were all there, we went ahead and opened presents, with lots of excitement and laughter and craziness.
- Matt skipping Rebecca in Phase 10 at least once each round!
- Jessica and Mikayla getting their stockings mixed up. I saw Mikayla with a phone case that Santa obviously intended for Jessica and realized they had the wrong stockings!
- Watching (and hearing) Jessica, Mikayla, Rebecca, Emily, Whitney, and Kennedi do Just Dance 2015 on the wii at midnight...and later...
- Seeing a lei on my stocking and realizing I can go with the BCM on the mission trip to Hawaii this summer!
- Not knowing what to do two days before Christmas when Mike kept looking for tickets to buy for the Liberty Bowl...tickets I had already bought and wrapped and put under the tree! I'm not a good liar.
- Mikayla saying,"I think I'm gonna throw up" after she opened her iphone 5C. Too much excitement? (She didn't.)
- Kennedi opening her Christmas present/bag and pulling out one of our ornaments from Russia that had fallen off the tree!
- Mark screaming like a girl when he opened his suitcase and found a nutcracker staring up at him.
- Realizing
MikeSanta was once again smarter than me in giving Jessica a keyboard...when I heard Mannheim Steamroller-esque music coming from her room for hours and hours on Christmas Day.
This was one of my favorite Christmases ever.
