Christmas #3 atG & G Great's

Sorry I am so behind on blogging!!

--McKenna's favorite toys: measuring cups at Grandma and Grandpa Greats--

On December 22nd, Josh took the day off work, and I was lucky enough to start my vacation that day. We packed up McKenna and gifts and headed to Grandma and Grandpa Great's. As usual Edna said that we would just be having finger foods, but of course there was a feast! Geoff, Chantel and Dick finally all made it from California. I won't even try to quote Dick's crazy story of getting through Denver, but they all made it with only slight delays. For those of you who don't know, don't ever watch TV or for future me who is reading this - Denver had a horrible snowstorm; they closed the airport for a whole day. And, flying around Christmas is already hectic without that mess!

--And now a turn pulling Gona's hair--

We started with dinner. I brought fudge and peanut butter balls. Because we were running so late, I made ham roll ups in the car on the way there - and no one even knew ;) Everyone came at different times, but everyone was there by about 6 to open presents! We started with the gag gifts. We all draw numbers, and then choose from a pile of gifts that people have wrapped anonymously. This year I was the proud recipient of soap - one side says face, one says butt - I am sure that will come in quite useful. Josh got some bug spray. Some of the funnier gifts were a funky pot with a face on it, 3 feet of licorice, a metal piece off some piece of farm machinery, really old barbies, just to name a few. McKenna was spoiled rotten receiving clothes, toys, a gift card to baby gap and a fun laughing doll from grandma great.

--Colton choosing the crazy bowl with a face, and getting barbies, so lucky! And Emmi and Kade have robot eyes (oops)--

--The girls got purple and pink funky chairs that Bridgot ran through stores to get!--

--Tali opening her chair--

--Kaathy got a sign that says "A fisherman lives here with the catch of his life" and some funky Bush bashing cards--

--All the adults over 18 draw names for gifts, Josh drew grandma great and made her this birdhouse (she LOVES birds!)--

--Grandpa Great opening a gift (I think it was a batteryless flashlight!)--

Such a wonderful Christmas. Its nice that the whole family could make it!

After the festivities we hurried home to pack and get ready to leave for our journey to Kennewick Washington to spend Christmas with my family...little did we know!
