It was a nice day here at our home. This was a very "frugal" christmas. We didn't have a lot of money to spend, we watched sales, were very blessed with gifts of gift cards and some cash that helped make things a little more "merry" for the kids.
We got Steven some casserole dishes, and a few boxes of Betty Crocker potatoes. ... And some new utensils to use on the pans his grandma gave him. 
Michael seemed pleased with a replacement power supply for his laptop... He also got a little red laser pointer light, he had a very good time driving the poor dogs nuts with it!
Rebecca was very happy to get a small box with some clothes, she also got a Scooby doo hat to match a shirt, and a really cute plaid furry trapper hat - with pom poms :)
Jessica seemed most pleased with the camera she got - we lucked out and found it on Amazon Gold box special! It's awesome, and takes really nice photos for such an inexpensive camera.
The girls also each got books they had asked for -
Rebecca the Hunger Games series, 
and Jessica "The Lost Hero" and a set of 'Fablehaven' books.
Steven and Raylen came over, and she got to open her gifts from us, and her great grandma. She liked her Zhu Zhu pets, and her travel size Hungry Hungry Hippos game!
Daryl went to get his mom, Steven took Raylen to her mom, then he came back, and we did group shots of all my kids. I know it drives them crazy, but it's my tradition - every year, two photos - one in front of the Christmas tree, and one out front in the yard... They are wonderful being so patient with their camera toting mama...
