Highlights from Christmas

Each year, I get a Christmas book to read before gifts. Every persons name goes into a bowl and we draw for the person who gets to keep the book. Would you believe that every year, Kenny's name has been drawn out! He is getting a nice collection of Christmas books! We joke that he surely couldn't win it this year, but he has.

Brett always wants toys for Christmas. I rarely buy toys; they are a waste of money to me. So this year he bought his own remote control airplane and one for Chad so they could play together. And actually, I did buy a silly little remote control mini coup this year. But I don't think they have used them. See, it's a waste!

Toys for Llayton.

We do crazy white elephant gifts in our familee. Trent worked long and hard on his creation

I thought my gift was so clever - goldfish! Trent opened them and wouldn't take them home. So a few days later, I put them in the back of his car after he left our house. Sesily is a good sport to take care of these silly things. They have only lost one! Sorry Ses!



Late on Christmas eve, we finally got around to opening our new Christmas pj's. (It's a girl thing only.) Then we headed down to the basement for our 'photo shoot'! Brett was our photographer this year and right now he is putting together a slide show of it. Thank you girls, for being so fun! Here are just two of the MANY!
