Day 341: A Day for Catching Up

This morning I woke up around 6, and then went back to sleep until around 8. I heard the boys up and going, so I made my way downstairs to see what St. Nicholas brought everyone. They waited on us to come down, so I let Maddie join in on the fun. The kids then opened their gifts and they were happy with everything overall. 

After the gifts, they ate some breakfast casserole and enjoyed some juice. They then got dressed and then played with toys and games in the basement. They really enjoyed themselves. 

The boys were picked up around 11 so Caleb went down the street to play outside with them. It was a beautiful day out so he got to enjoy that. 

Daniel, Maddie, and I watched Christmas movies. Maddie didn't take a nap, but she was great overall. She had a fun afternoon. Caleb came back a little after lunch and joined us as we watched movies. 

That evening Daniel grilled some meat and we ate while watching "Elf on the Shelf." The kids loved it!! 

We made our way to bed shortly after that. Maddie has been going to bed on her own a lot better, but she is still fighting it a little more than we'd like.   

Goodnight all!

She was giving Nana smooches at this point. It was pretty funny and cute!
