Jr got 2 games (Don't Break the Ice and a Dora Memory game), a Wii game, and a digital camera (we happen to have over 25 of those disposable cameras waiting to be developed, so this will save us money in the long run, I predict they will pay for themselves within a year).
DJ got a basketball & football (from his sisters), a car racing game for the Wii, and a digital camera.
Tori got a large make up kit, a digital camera (better quality than the little ones'), and a new cell phone.
Ariel got a large make up kit, a digital camera and a new cell phone (though her snow globe from DJ was a very impressive and touching gift, there's a story there...I'll work on having her tell it later).
Tracy got a Shiatsu massager, Bath & Body works gift set & scented candles with a candle warmer.
Don got Wii games, ties from the girls (a tradition for them), and 2 tool sets that he asked for.
The rest of the day was spent playing with the new 'toys' and eating junk food. I decided that trying to keep the Christmas candy around for a long time was just prolonging the sugar highs, so I allowed them to eat it far faster than I usually do (as long as they ate 3 meals per day). We made phone calls to family, took naps, and got ready to have dinner at the Banta's. I made sweet potato casserole (which my family swears is their new 'very favorite' dish!), and we enjoyed a few hours over there with the Bantas (Don's sister and her family) and Don's mom (who was visiting from Utah for Christmas).
When we left, we debated whether to head for Aaron & Holly's place that night, or wait for the next morning, and we all decided that heading up immediately was the prefered plan (ok, Don wasn't as excited as he's the one who does the driving, but we took snacks along, so we were happy). We made it to MI before midnight, and enjoyed a very nice visit with the Hoyt clan up there. The kids enjoyed their snow as we didn't really have much to speak of. We left on Saturday trying to beat a rain/wind storm back to Elkhart. It was an interesting trip, and slightly tense at times due to fog, rain, wind and stupid drivers (who on earth travels in bad weather 2 days after Christmas anyway!?)
We got home safely, showered and into bed at a decent hour so that we'd be up and to church on time (Ariel's the ward chorister, she's very particular about being AT church every week).
Thus another Christmas passes in the Wilson household.
