As I already mentioned, Christmas Eve

my kids get a gift from Jingles and one from

each other. On Christmas morning they get

clothes from Mom and Dad and three gifts

from Santa (Christ himself only got three gifts).

Aspens three gifts were-

2. Cowgirl hat and boots

3. Princess ZuZu toys

Raiders three gifts were-

2. CAT construction truck

3. A remote control airplane thing

that teaches you shapes and colors.
