We opened stockings first. I still haven't made Laura's stocking, but she didn't seem to mind :)
Then we got the ham in the oven and opened presents. The kids each got three presents from us. We also bought five small gifts for each child and the kids went "shopping" in our bedroom and picked out a toy to give to each of their siblings. We had a few gifts from relatives and friends like Jojo, Damien and Rhea, and Aunt Rosalie and Uncle Frank Kile. I think it was just about the right amount of presents as the kids had plenty to open, but finished before they got bored.
Three of the kids (everyone except Beth, who isn't interested) got a Nintendo 64 controller.
The older four kids each got a game. Megan got Cranium, Kylie got board game based off Temple Run (a game she plays on her friends' tablets), Beth got Clue, and Jack got Jenga.
Tita Rhea made the girls each tutus and made Jack a superhero cape.
Neither Rob nor I can remember what we got each other for Christmas. That's what happens when you wait three months. We each pick out our own big presents, then get each other something little. Rob finagled his way into getting me pralines from Neiman Marcus (he won them at work, so I had no clue he had gotten them), and candles. I can't remember the little things I got Rob.
