Christmas 2013

It was a fun Christmas season!  The week beforehand, we went to our friends, The Chases, annual FHE Christmas caroling night of fun and white elephant exchange.  That's always a lot of fun!

 This one is a bit out of order, but don't feel like messing with it.  This is Devin trying out his new Sparks Razor Scooter.

 And this is Justin after he spent all his Christmas money with his new AirSoft gun.

 Christmas Day playing Balogna

 Tiger Beat subscription.  She's a little excited!

 This Christmas was all about the Lego's

 Uncle Dave and his special High Five

 Very excited about all the Rainbow Looms!

Kids tradition

We have a tradition in our family that the kids all give presents to each other.  We go to the dollar store and they pick out something for each other.  This year they talked me into letting them open their own gifts a day or two before Christmas.

 Avery's gift to Devin - Axe knockoff.  He was THRILLED!

 Devin's gift to Avery - a ball.  Had to write a note and have her find it since that would have been obvious!

 Avery's gift to Justin - Mountain Dew (another note)

 Justin's gift to Devin - A toy

 Justin's gift to Avery - Loom bands

 Devin's gift to Justin - Axe knockoff

 I love this tradition! I love how excited they are to open their $1 gifts and know that their siblings had to think about what they might really like.  It proves you don't need a lot of money to make someone feel special.  :)
