Deborah made Gramps a great scrapbook with pages for each grandchild with pictures and lists of all their favorite things.
After eating appetizers and dinner and visiting awhile we opened all the presents. The children had a wonderful time- again, not many pictures of this time due to trying to help the kids open presents and keep track of who gave what to which child!
Bailey was excited to open his "Amanda blankie." He said, "Morgan has one, Austen has one, now ME have one too!!!" He had a great time picking out which blocks he has that neither of his siblings have in their quilts- the new knight print was a big hit. Ashley was also 3 this year and should have received her quilt for Christmas. But, I decided to try embroidering her quilt instead of using printed fabrics-the embroidery machine and I had a big fight which the machine won. So, I've going to start hers over - hopefully it will arrive in time for Easter instead. 
The big boys played in the 2 story foyer with new Stomp Rockets and then quickly disappeared back upstairs to play together. The girls stayed with us for a little while to play with new toys.
Then we celebrated Michael's birthday with presents, birthday cake, and many other Christmas desserts.
