Christmas Day with the Family...


Christmas with the Fam. With such a huge family it's hard to buy gifts for everyone so instead of doing a 'Secret Santa' we do a $5 gift exchange. Everyone brings a $5 gift and wraps it. Then we draw numbers and you get to pick one in order. But if you see a gift that someone unwrapped you can 'steal' that gift and make the person you took it from choose a new gift to unwrap.
It's so much fun! I first got a Japanese fountain which Charlsie stole. Then I got a set of bowls which Aunt Donna stole. I finally ended up with a Bath and Body Wallflowers plug in air freshener thing.

Aunt Marcia, Paige, Nanny, Aunt Donna and Ashley. Look at how happy Donna is that she stole my bowls!!! lol



Kimmy and her Daughter Krystal


Kim got a fleece throw. No one stole hers cause she ran away with it! lol


Nanny picking out her gift. I don't remember what she got.


My Sister in Law Charlsie.
Charlsie is about 5 months pregnant! I'm gonna be an aunt again!! She will be having a girl around April 17th! We are sooo excited!!
But she looks totalled bored here! lol


My Father-in-law and Mother-in-law having a laugh at all the stealing! lol



Steve picking out his gift.



Sammy getting hers, which was stole a few times. She ended up with a Vanilla reed defuser air freshener. lol

All in all it was a great day! Lots of cheer, food, gifts and laughs! Now the coutdown begins for next year!!
