FAMILY CHRISTMAS PARTY 12/23/11 GIFTS AND HANGING OUT

The final part of the evening was exchanging gifts among the adults.

Aunt Karen put boxes around the room where gifts for each family group could be placed. In the past we would put everything under the tree and then we would have 15 or 20 family members all trying to hand out gifts at the same time. The box idea is genious, it makes this final portion of the evening much calmer.

These are some of the gifts we recieved this year. I didn't takes pictures of all of them.

We hung out and visited and had a good time throughout the evening

Eventually all the fun of the evening took its toll.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO MY FAMILY AND THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE GIFTS!!
