Christmas Eve part 2 ~ gift exchange

Every year the kids exchange names for Christmas and on Christmas eve they open the gifts from each other. They look forward to it for weeks and it has become a very fun tradition. This year instead of going youngest to oldest we just went around the room and opened gifts. They had fun and everyone got great gifts. Brothers and sisters are the very best!!!

Bummy's turn... Kassi checking out her new necklace and sweater...
Gabe got a famer and a trailer. He likes Nate's so we figured it would be fun for him to have one like it. Nate's is a little smaller and when Nate saw Gabe's new toy he ran and got his other one and tried to 'trade' telling us that Gabe really like his old one! What a kid! But Gabe likes the noises his makes and there is nothing better than buying a noisy toy for the nephew! :)
Kami's turn... and Kailee waiting not so patiently too!
Kami loves her Strawberry Shortcake! It smells yummy too!
Kailee's turn... whatever did she get from Jace???
Yay... an outfit AND BOOTS!
Kalli... part one of two gifts, the Barbie movie that she loves!
Nate's turn! Oh he was so excited. And of course he got right up on the table to be the center of attention!

Oh YAY.... the soft cuddly blanket that he loves, and the cutest Elmo slippers!
The rest... a Barbie!
Willie... who had to open a boring present from mom and dad because Kimi had his name and they weren't going to be here until Christmas morning... awesome outfit he got, but you know, it isn't the same as a toy!
Funny... he got the same shirt that Caitlyn had bought Jace. Guess mom and Caitlyn have very good taste!
Celeste's turn...
What to get the boy who needs nothing.... just give him a gift card! Boring perhaps... but very effective!
Bummy also had to open a boring gift from mom and dad since Matt had his gift... but again, he got some really cute clothes and what else would a boy want! :)

Gabe checking out the box!
Jace opening his gift from Kinzee!
He wore out his old tool box, guess it is time for a new one!

Caitlyn wanted socks... she got lots of socks...and a pretty necklace and a pretty rose!!!

Hayden and legos... the perfect combination!

Awesome Elmo slippers!!! He loves them!
Kinzee got a box full of fun things!
Kinzee's awesome hat!
Wyatt... ended up getting a couple remote control trucks!
Garrett got the best kind of fun... an Itunes card!!!
Nate!!!
Kami and her Strawberry Shortcake!
Tiffany and her awesome new coat! Thayne picked it out for her because he has the best taste! Not a lot of girls can say their father in law picks out their clothes! :)
Looking Fabulous in her new coat!Thayne is excited to get a new drill!!!
