CHRISTMAS NOTES (Part 4 of 15)

CHRISTMAS WRAP DEMOLITION PROJECT


It is more blessed to receive than to give, for some people.

Especially children.

Typically, they don't get excited about Christmas because they get to watch a bunch of other people open gifts. The fun is in the ripping and tearing and shredding of Christmas wrapping paper and in the discovery of what lies beneath it.

But grown-ups enjoy all that stuff, too.




The first gift of the morning is opened by Neo.






Ashley's turn.





Followed by Daisy.





Ally's hands are quicker than her eyes, as evidenced by the blur at the end of each of her arms.




Tim opens a gift that does not fit him. It is not for him. It is for someone who Belinda is holding.









Belinda, whose hands are also a blur, opens and holds up her gift.






Naomi watches Uncle Josh open a gift while Silas watches something else.





Devon digs himself through wrapping paper into a Beaver's baseball cap.






Time for Naomi.





Bethany shows off her gift.




Nana opens her present...



...and appears to be pleased with what she has found.




Devon tears into another gift.




Naomi watches her dad open his gift.




Tim flaunts his gift before the crowd.




A trio of four-year-olds clown around during the demolition process.




Baylee opens a gift.




Rylie opens a present while Baylee continues to check hers out.




Makiah holds up a new set of pajamas.
