We shopped all morning, baked cookies in the afternoon, wrapped presents in the early evening, enjoyed some snacks and treats with our families into the night, watched the kids open their gifts from one another.

Abbie gave James Splashy the Whale, a game he’d been wanting for so long!

Josh and I got back to work wrapping. We ended up falling into bed about 2:30 in the morning…
