Merry Christmas Already?

The bigger my side of the family gets, the more difficult it gets to get together for the holidays. So, as we gathered for Avery's/Brad's baptism, we also chose to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas!

Therefore, we had Christmas today! Yes, already!It is tradition in our family that each of the 5 "couples" draw a niece/nephew for which to buy Christmas gifts, and the kids all had an awesome time opening.


My boys!

G was SO stinkin' excited about his gift!
Adam was all into opening this year...
Cannon was quite impressed with his gift...
Ballerina and her purses...

And then the adults opened...
We have a similar system as we buy for all...We each draw one of the 10 names and but for just that special person! (You cannot have yourself or a spouse, and there is an established $ limit!)

Carla had Eric...again (She has had him many times before!) And, he was stoked about his new kitchen toy!
Eric had Lauren, and he was insistent on getting her things she could use teaching next semester!
Cammie really needed some silverware! Long story...
And, of course, KK got some nerdy game thing that only he would really be into...Or maybe it is just something that I am not into and do not understand? Humm...
I just had to include this picture of Ballerina and Adam...mostly because it is a rare that they are hugging and not fighting! :)
As we begin the holiday season, our family hopes your family has one of the best...
