Christmas

 Christmas a just a tad different this year, not too much tho.  The only things different and missing were Grandma and Grandpa Farm and GiGi.  Due to COVID (the theme of 2020) it wasn't safe for the to come. Christmas went on, even though we felt their absence.  

Maddie woke us up around 7:00, Grandma Jeanne and Mark got here around 7:40, Maddie was the only kid up at that point.  Jack joined shortly after.  We let Maddie wake Peyton up around 8:30 and then the party began!  

Maddie found Daisy had TP-ed the entire main floor pretty darn good.  She was then hiding in Peyton's gingerbread house, with the Tik-Tok light shining right on her.  Maddie thought this was pretty funny!

The kids were very happy with all the things!  Maddie got a new iPad and gymnastics equipment for American Girl Doll, Jack got a mini fridge and microwave for his man cave and tickets to a Chiefs game, and Peyton got a TV and and wall tapestry of her favorite boy band (One Direction).  Everyone seemed thrilled!!!!  Jess got a new fire pit for outside and Mike got some new clothes and AirPods.  

After all the gifts were open, Maddie wrote a song for each person.  She worked her little heart out on these, for weeks!!!!  She sang to each person, while playing her guitar.  It was the most thoughtful and cutest thing ever.  Mark got them all videoed and put together on one clip.  

We then ate.....all the normal Christmas morning foods: Grandma Jeanne's biscuits and gravy, Maddie's monkey bread, and egg casserole.  Mark and Jeanne hung out for a while and then they went home.  

We then took down all the Christmas decorations, and then I realized I forgot one of Maddie's gifts!!!!  So she got one last surprise that night.  All the fixings for more SLIME!!!!  I cannot believe this girl still has such  love for this stuff, but she does!!!!  She was very much excited!!!  A perfect evening capper.  

Silly Daisy.....Tik-Toking away.....

Chiefs game!!!!  And later that day he found out JVC and Jackson Riney were going too!

ROBUX!!!!  The girl is obsessed!!!!  

I can't remember what the high five was for here????.......

IPAD.......oh so HAPPY!!!!

Singing to Peyton......

And to Jack.......

And to Dad.....I'm pretty sure this is when she was singing about him not liking to waste money.....she knows her Dad very well!!!

Mike had her up and running by early evening......and I'm pretty sure we won't see much of her again....

And we are probably finished seeing him for a while as well.......

Her one last forgotten gift!!!  Was a late night surprise!!!!  SLIME!!!
