Christmas Morning

We got home from Fort Smith around 10:30 Christmas Eve night.  We got Finn in bed and the car unloaded and started getting Finn's gifts from us and Santa set up for the next morning.  Santa brought him the Cozy Coup, a new tractor and a Dinosaur Train.  I know Santa wraps presents for some kids, but he never did when I was growing up and since we also open gifts from Momma and Daddy on Christmas morning, Santa decided that he wouldn't wrap Finn's. 

 

Morris the Stegasaurus came with the train.

Can't wait for warmed weather so this thing can go outside, ha!

 

 

 

 

 Jeff and I decided this year to start a new tradition of gift giving at Christmas.  It's called the 4 Gift Policy. Each child will recieve 4 gifts from Mom and Dad.
1. Something they want.
2. Something they need.
3. Something they wear.
4. Something they read.

Finn got plenty of gifts and it really helped us keep our spending under control.  Right now Jeff and I usually don't get each other gifts because we pretty much buy want we want, but as the kids get older we will apply the rules to ourselves as well.

Finn reading his new book

He was in desparate need of new sippy cups. It's amazing how those things disappear.

 He was not excited about the new jeans, ha!

 He WAS excited about this guaitar though! He loved playing with the one the Stinson boys have at their house, so it was an easy decision to get it for his "want" gift.
