On Christmas Eve we went back to Jewel and Janis’ with Justin’s brothers, Jay and JT, the Ericas (Jay’s wife is Erica and JT’s fiancé is also Erica) and baby Tyce (who will have a baby brother in February).
Every year Grandma Janis tells the kids the story of the first Christmas. This year she told it around the theme of gifts and giving. She started by asking the kids what they liked better, giving gifts or getting gifts. Chloe was sitting up front and looking so intensly while Janis was talking and immediately and without hesitation answered, “Getting gifts.” It was pretty funny.
Then the kids opened presents. Chloe was so funny. She helped tear open every package and each time she opened a present she said, “Ooooh, I very wanted that for Christmas.” She also told us each time she had seen something advertised on TV.

Then, the kids went to bed so the grown ups could open presents. All three boys did fine, but our little night owl, Coco would have no part of that. She stayed up and helped Grandpa Jewel open each of his presents with all the same enthusiasm she had for her own presents. “Ooooh, you like that? Ohhhh, that’ll fit you.”
