Christmas Eve surprise!!

Today we found out we had another ultrasound of the baby and learned if we're having a boy or a girl. So we went to the store, bought an outfit in the appropriate color, wrapped it up, and had the girls open it with all the family there.
... and it's a boy!! You can see Grandma McLellan and Grandpa Packer are SUPER excited!! The girls ... not so much. They really wanted a baby sister, but I guess they'll have to wait until round 2. ;)
Rio gave my parents a hand-painted cube with that said "Families are Forever" on the top with pictures of everyone in the windows. Rio even threw in some lotions inside the box as an extra present. Cute!!
The girls were sooo excited about their gift to Jeff- an iPad stand for his desk. It swivels around so he can have it propped up next to his screen while he works. He was just as excited as they were!! He loves it!
Jeff got a cool t-shirt from Nate from Hawaii.
Grandma Packer made Raine a new comforter for her bed. Raine decided she wanted a bright lime green on one side, and my mom found a cool metallic rainbow/black print for the other side. She even sewed a huge sun on the green side in stitching. It's an awesome blanket sure to be worn as a cape as often as possible. That's what you do with your favorite blanket, right?!
Grandpa McLellan is opening a present which he is apparently quite perplexed about. I can't remember what he's opening, but it looks like an enigma wrapped in a mystery. ;)
Rio got a great new robe from Grandma Packer. it matches the new slippers she got from Jeff & I and has ALL her favorite colors.
All in all, this was a GREAT Christmas. We had a delicious dinner with everyone over, spent time opening gifts, and had a wonderful evening together. We feel so blessed and loved everyday by our amazing families.
