Family Christmas Gift Exchange

Since the older kids wouldn't be with us at Christmastime, we held our Family Gift Exchange a couple of days early. All of the older kids received cash and gift cards. Kellee received a Cinderella outfit (shoes, dress and tiara); Marshel received 2 remote control police cars; they together got some new bath toys. Michael also brought everyone a gift: candy for the older kids; magic marker coloring books for the little ones.

All of the kids received blankets made with love by me, Mom. The girls all received crocheted afghans (which took a couple of months to finish). The boys received flannel and cotton blankets (Mike - Navy; Nate - Air Force; Marshel - FireFighter). Those were all quickly made the night before.
