We have a tradition every year to get together with some of our dearest friends between Christmas and New Year's Day. This year we went on the Sunday after Christmas and let the kids exchange gifts. We always have a good visit and good food. Mitch usually makes his famous gumbo and then we fix something the kids will eat.
Tucker (Steven's cousin), Steven, Kirsten and Alec are excited about exchanging gifts.
Steven picked out a new Lego set for Alec and it was a brand new one that Alec had not seen before. He was so excited because it had a C-3PO figure in it.
Kirsten got a crochet needle case and a new crochet book.
The boys were all building their new toys. Alec and Steven had new Lego sets and Tucker had a new Bionicle set.
Alec is working hard to finish his set.
Their dog, Lady, loves to "sit pretty."
Ms. Sherrie helps Kirsten and gives her some tips on crocheting faster.
Steven is so much fun for my kids to be around. He is truly one of their best friends, even though we don't get to be with them very often.
Hey Julie,
ReplyDeleteI have spent a few minutes getting caught up on your blog this morning. I enjoyed reading about all of your Christmas activities. Alex looks great in his Spartan hoodie. My kids squealed with excitement over theirs.
I cannot believe your kids get up at 4:30 on Christmas morning! Wow! Did they crash that afternoon?
Hope to see all of you soon!
