Not all of us could get together on Christmas Eve or Christmas day-
So we met up last Sunday for a Christmas dinner & gift exchange for the kiddos.
Making gingerbread cookies-
What the boys like to do most at our house-
Trent drew Laura's name.
He painted her name on a block of wood that he cut out - out in the garage, "his workshop."
She is a keeper & was so kind- while the boys were happy Trent didn't draw one of their names-- real family, that's what we are.
Chloe had Hailey's name & found a piece of pottery by a local artist with a chicken on it- Hailey loves all things chicken & it was perfect for her. She even started to tear up- one of my favorite parts of Christmas this year.
Hailey had Jack & even though she ordered a gift for him weeks ago
an email came earlier in the week saying it was not going to be here on time.
She printed a picture of the gift-
HIlarious & perfect for him!
Now he can cuddle inside & outside with his malaria.
It was really fun to see what the kids had picked out for each other.
Plus-- the cousins did some exchanging too.
Gosh- we are so lucky to have the Brittany's, Marcus & kids so close!
Marcus will be graduating from BYU Law School in 2014 so we may not be so lucky next year.
These two cuties are growing everyday-
For some reason I again didn't get many photos!?
When will I learn?
It was a wonderful Christmas-
More Christmas at the Messer's house to come.
