Christmas 2009

We celebrated Christmas this year at several family parties that lasted all weekend long - it was great! We spent time with Nate's family and also with my grandparents and cousins in Kamas (we miss all those family members who are far away!) We played lots of games (I was introduced to Christmas Story Monopoly!), ate delicious food and way too many treats (Grandma's homemade cinnamon roles are incredible), watched the three movies we see every season (Mr Krueger's Christmas, Luke II, and A Christmas Story), and of course gave and received lots of great treasures.



. . .

We had a blast at our yearly white elephant gift exchange with the Tews and our gifts got voted 1st and 2nd place!! (Brady asked where we find these things and I told him that I am a magnet for the weird and strange gifts in this world)

1st Place: An extra large decorative fan for all you dog lovers out there!
Yes, this bad boy took our white elephant careers to the next level.




2nd Place: Pick Your Nose Party Cups!
An instant hit of course! Brady and Becky got this one and were kind enough to let everyone share the joy of picking their own nose cup...check out Nate's grandma! And Kristy's husband Dave could totally be the company's next model!








Hope you all had a great holiday!

You guys make me laugh! Those white elephant gifts rock! Remind me to go shopping with you next time we need a white elephant gift.
