This year for Christmas we did something different. We have friends who create a scavenger hunt for their kids to find the gifts. Well, since the kids had big outdoor items, we thought it might be good to have a hunt. After opening the gifts inside, they found a note from Santa. It told them to put on a coat and shoes then go to the backdoor to wait for instructions. Chloe had the first clue, followed by Keegan, then Kale, and last Cody. They could only open a clue if all 4 of them were at the spot. It all led to the church trailer which Jon opened. Inside they found Chloe's jeep, Keegan and Kales's bikes, and Cody's DS. Now, let me say, Cody had already found his DS. Kale had been sick throughout the night and had ended up in our room on the floor. When Keegan and Cody got up, they came to our room also. We were not quite ready to get up yet since we had not slept much. As it got lighter, I heard some discussion about some sort of game. It suddenly dawned on me, I had plugged Cody's DS into the outlet to charge and they were looking right at it. I was VERY upset. I wanted him to be surprised along with the others. Oh, well, he was very excited. Anyway, they had a super day with Papa, Aunt Wendy, and Uncle Matt. They look forward to receiving Papa's gift each year--a gift card to Dollar Tree--and he did not fail them. They love to go shopping there with their money. The bow and arrows were big hits. The weather being so nice helped with the outside rides. They rode lots throughout the day in their jammies. Chloe preferred to have Keegan drive her around and he was more than happy to oblige. It was a wonderful day spent with family!
