Last gift

We send them on a scavenger hunt to clues. Each clue leads to another note with a clue until they find the last gift.

Noah got a toy titanic that floats in the tub.

He actually used the word "overjoyed".

That itself is a gift.

Getting it

Our kids get to open a gift by themselves in their room when they first get up to play w/ until 6:45. Nina got a journal.

Here's what she wrote:

"Christmas was rele fon I wich it cood sta for evre and evre and evre because its fun. Oh Christmas its Jeeses brthday that is my favrit prt obout christmas. Babe Jesses was bon in a mangr. "

A gift worth unwrapping.
