Christmas continued

We went over to Aunt Judy's on Christmas day and she, Uncle Rich and Jeanette, has a wonderful spread of delights ready for us.  They also added more seating to their living room which I knew probably wasnt easy (moving a futon!) and so it was very cozy around the tv fireplace.  We had warm yummy beef and vegetable soup, appetizers a plenty, sandwhiches, several different cookies and desserts, all arranged like a high end catered event. It was divine!

One of the cutest girls I know!

 

The excitement was too much for some...

We did a white elephant gift exchange.

This is Aunt Judy figuring out the camera...

I had to take a second and admire the beautiful Christmas-scape that Aunt Judy had created.  She decorates so nicely!  She should be an interior decorator--seriously!

So pretty! 

Little village under the end table.  I felt like a giant peering into their little town

hehe

Back to the White elephant gift exchange:  Judah was the first to go

Josiah picked Tommys gag gift.  It says "Clue: Camping Essentials"

And it was a package of Lever 2000 soap (do they still make that?), an Ax, and a magnifying glass. 

Well played Tommy.

Judah opened an emergency diaper-- an "over the hill" gag gift.

He did not get the white elephant idea.  He started to cry, "but I dont want a diaper!" !

Tommy got.....a WHITE ELEPHANT : ) and a pretty wedding dress bag

Aunt Judy got a reindeer that poos.  That's her poo face. : p

Then, Judah opened a gift that Grandpa pointed out to him.... But what was it? this fleshy pink color rubber bag?

A Whoppie Cushion!!  He didnt even know what it was so a few of us demonstrated it for him.  he loved it.  Everytime someone got up he would put it on their seat...

once we had our fill of hilarious gifts, we skyped with Gma Leibbrand, the Lyons and Aunt Jo and Ian.  We also enjoyed a gander at Uncle George's light show Super Duper Extravaganza!  Seriously, it was pretty awesome. Well done Uncle George.  He also gave us the gift of memorializing our Family reunion from this past summer in a video/photo collection on dvd.  It was spectacular.  Like really , really special.  Uncle George, you have a gift!-thank you!!! 

Random: Lego batman shirts.  what a pair  : )
