Finally we got to go upstairs and find our stockings (thanks Santa) and opened presents with the family (this is quite a feat with young children). It was so much fun to see everyone’s eyes light up with surprise and excitement. (Ben got 2 Nurf guns- Hence the Blog Title.) We got to talk to all the Newson siblings and see most of them on Skyp- which made it that much more fun.
In the afternoon we went to the Stones house to spend time with family there. It was fun to see everyone and here what Santa had brought them all. We hung out watching movies, eating good food (like always at a Stones event) and playing games. Ben and I got a fun game called ‘Curses’ in which you are cursed to act in a certain way. It was hilarious to watch Mom bark at Dad as he clucked as a chicken, itched like a gorilla and talked like Scooby Doo.
We are fortunate enough to have family very close and therefore we had a wonderful Christmas full of the spirit of love and family. It was wonderful!

That's so funny that you both couldn't sleep! How fun! I couldn't wait to get to bed on Christmas Eve, and did not want to wake up early Christmas morning, lol. But then again, I didn't have a stocking to look forward to!
I have to tell you that we adopted the Newson tradition of pillow cases this year. Ben's mom has made us a bunch in Christmas fabric and the kids used them to wrap gifts without my help! Talk about easy and cute!
Tell them all thanks!!
