Cousin exchange...missing a few

We got together last night with my brother Jason's family & my sister Karli's family, for some present exchanges and some good Holiday cheer! My brother Jason and his family are going to Oregon for Christmas so we got to have an early Christmas with everyone (minus my brother, Aaron and his family-who we really missed, AND my parents of course).
Here's all the munchkins doing their VERY best picture posing!
This is what you get with mutliple parents taking pics-feet & other cameras in the way, and no eyes on you while YOU are trying to get a picture. But they were good picture takers, anyway! (LeAnne and Karli must have been the place where the kids focus was)
Each of the kids got their turn on the LITTLE Christmas chair, to open THEIR present.
(youngest to oldest of course)
Ash got a beginners art/doodle set...just right for him

Kaipo got a Batman Chopper
(which as you can tell he LOVED)
And Ame got a design your own flip flops/slippers set and more art supplies
(which SHE can NEVER get enough of)
Thanks to our great friends the Robinson's for their gift in the mail,
which supplied great entertainment.
After presents, we had several roaring game of
DON'T EAT PETE...the kids had a blast with this one!
Thanks to all our family for their love and generosity.
We are overflowing with gratitude!
LeAnne, thanks for the yummy dinner too!
Our Christmas Season just keeps getting more and more Merry & Bright!

I just had to throw this picture in there.
Have a seen a cuter reindeer than this one???
Our little Ashy boy is growing up WAY TOO FAST.

OH WHAT CUTE PICTURES OF THE STINKERS SHARING CHRISTMAS WITH THEIR COUSINS. THE "CHRISTMAS CHAIR" IS A CUTE IDEA THAT MUST HAVE REDUCED THE CHAOS A BIT. LOVE ASH'S REINDEER JAMMIES. THANKS FOR INCLUDING US IN THE FESTIVITIES. WE COULD FEEL THE JOY AND EXCITEMENT.

Glad you liked the game. It is a favorite around here- so simple but kids and adults can all play it, and who doesn't like a few m&ms (or what ever candy you have around!)

Ash is screaming full on photo shoot to me. He is the cutest little reindeer I've ever seen = )

Merry Christmas to you and your family. They are all growing up so fast. Thanks for all your input on our blog. We love to hear from you. Mark and Tina and Wesley are here now and Mel will be coming after Christmas with her family for 3 days. Matt will be here after his finals so life is good in Leon, Mexico. We love you all.
