Well Last Weekend I invited all my family here in North end of Utah to a family gift exchange. It has become a tradition for me as when I was in NYC and came out I had to do quite a bit of getting around to get all my presents delivered... And since I go to St. George now to be wiht my mom and dad to play santa it still works great.
There was a twist this year all of my nieces and their families and juanita took public transportation.. Saving gas and the environment!!!!
Well that is the story I am sticking to although they will say they spent the entire day getting to and from my house which is a car would only take 2 hours...
still I think the kids liked it and i know i didn't worry about the weather and all of them treading down here on slick roads.
I only made 2 trips to the train because Juanita and Leslie and her boys made the same trains, and a little later Leslie and the clan came rolling in too.
We had a good time eating some food, I especially liked watching gunner walk around with a tube of crackers eating them as he checked out everyone else.
Leslie made a apple crisp desert and it was Fantastic!!!
We all just hung out and enjoyed the food and the fun till Braxton said can we open our presents?? and well I couldn't say no.
I have a santa hat which let each kid use to hand out a gift to another it was pretty fun to see how each kid handled the santa roll. Gunner said Santa Claus HO HO HO. I normally try to get each kid a book and a toy and this year Cambria and Jax both got a watch.. they are getting pretty big and i know I loved my first watch.
I got a nerf target game for the christensens and for Jamie's family I got them Lego Rock Band hopefully they all enjoy their gifts.
Oh yea i gave each kid a Tube of m&m minis to eat and gunner was dumping his in his mouth and have a great time with them... I am sure puddi found a few left over on the ground since then :)
well it was fun, then we all piled back in my car, I mean all of us, trevon, braxton and Cambria got to ride where puddi does, paul, Gunner, Leslie, Jamie and Jax all squeezed in the back seat and juanita rode shot gun, we got to the train and all commented on how there should be a video of eveyone pileing out of the car.
I gave them all a hug and sent them back on their train rides to their homes!
Hope they all have a merry christmas!!!
