Our sister-in-law Francy is due in Feb with a baby boy, so we had to get her a gift! I mean, who doesn't love to shop for babies?! :-) We got her a little pair of blue jeans, a shirt that says "New Man of the House", sock monkey booties (see above picture), a sock monkey zip-up hoodie, and a monkey blanket. They'll never have to question who got them the sock monkey stuff. ;-) Jill and Sue got her some really cute things too. It was a fun little mini-shower.
Since we got there on the 27th, we needed to put all the grandkids to work making decorations for Livie's 6th birthday party the next day. They all had to decorate mini-christmas trees, since Livie decided on having a Christmas-themed party this year. They did a GREAT job!
As we waited for everyone to arrive, the kids sat around and played together.
I shouldn't necessarily say "sat down together and played". This was one of the rare moments when they were sitting down and playing. They mostly ran around and laughed and put on shows for us.
Finally the time came for opening presents. You can imagine how excited everyone was! Here, Livie is opening a present from her cousins, Trevor and Ty.
It's a Yeti pillow!!!!!!! Nope. Not excited at all. ;-)
Here a picture of Noah opening presents. We all were able to take turns and open this year instead of the normal free-for-all, which was nice. Easier for me to keep track of who got what from whom. Which, of course, comes in handy when it's THANK YOU NOTE-writing time.
Tater went back with us and got a present too! Since he's the first granddog on that side of the family, nana and papa got him a duck toy. He LOVED it and played with it a lot. Tater did SUCH a good job while was there and everyone really seemed to love having him there. :-) We had a great Christmas with everyone!!!!
