Christmas!!

On Christmas morning, Bennett and Preston like to get up really early (I used to do that, but not anymore). :) We have to hold them back from rushing into the living room! Then all the family starts to come in. For Christmas, on both sides of the family, we have a cousin present exchange. I usually draw the names from a hat in November and then people have time to shop (we said that it had to be from Goodwill or a garage sale). It takes about 2 and a half minutes for everybody to rip open all of their presents because they are so excited. At the end of the day, we had a Yankee Swap Party. It was so fun! For those who don't know what Yankee Swap is, here are the rules of the game.

Tilly and me. =)

Preston got this from our Alaskan cousins, the Simes family.

Preston got a bike helmet from Mom and Dad!

One of my new hats!

Poppie got whiskey! :)

Mom, Dad, Grammie and Poppie called us to the table and then they set a gift bag in front of us......

........tickets to LEGO LAND!!!!!!! Thank you Grammie and Poppie!!

After all the wrapping paper was cleaned up.

Bennett got Harry Potter glasses, scarf and a wand. Poppie tried on his apparel!

I also gave Bennett fake teeth for Christmas because I know he hates them and gets creeped out when people wear them....Poppie tried these on, too. ;)

Mom made her world's best scrambled eggs and her HOMEMADE CINNAMON ROLLS!!!!!!

It makes you want to eat the computer screen (this is a river of cream cheese frosting)!!

On Christmas, Grammie and Poppie's Church was having an "Ugly Christmas Sweater Sunday!" I borrowed one of Grammie's sweater. =)

They had poinsettias outside of their Church. :)

Fiona had Olivia's name for Christmas, so we gave her these fluffy pink shoes. She looked so cute in them!

Lincoln gave Bennett a real bow and arrow!!

Halfway through the game, Bennett ended up with a stocking holder!

Lincoln tried on Preston's helmet.

Charlotte did too!
