This past Christmas we did things a little differently. For Christmas instead of getting the kids Christmas presents Colt and I decided to get them experiences. They already had everything a kid could want. Clothes, toys, games, and tablets so we didn't see the point in buying more useless stuff that would eventually be given away anyways. Plus room in the RV was very limited.
We got each kid the traditional PJ'S and socks. We got them each a small gift to help them guess what their individual experience would be.
Colt and I had a lot of fun doing all these things. It was amazing to spend time with each child and focus only on them and see their smiles and hear their laughter. We made amazing memories.
Its been 2 months and they still talk about "the time when".... I don't ever remember a time when our kids were still so excited to talk about their Christmas presents even one month later.
This was the best thing we could have done for our family and we look forward to doing it again this year.
We took Eva out to lunch and then to go ice skating!! She is so good at it too!
We took Malayna to Paris, Las Vegas. We went to the top of the Eiffel Tower and ate yummy treats from a french bakery.
Bobby got to go paint balling. Him and Colt had a wonderful time. This is something I have no desire to do again.
We took CJ to see Tournament of Kings at the Excalibur. He couldn't take his eyes off the show.
Until next time. I love you C,M,B,C,E and L!!
