Disclaimer: I completely forgot to take any photos of this day...zero, zilch, nada(I'm kicking myself...just another reminder of why I need to keep my camera on at all times!)!!!!
With this year being the year our family gets together for Thanksgiving instead of Christmas we decided to do a little pre-Christmas celebration! The day consisted of setting up the Christmas decor, tree, etc! The house was in full bloom with the Christmas spirit once everything was said and done!
As the house decorating wound down everyone slithered and slunk to rooms or hid behind couches to finish their last Christmas wrapping endeavors.
I enlisted the help of my little munchkin, William, and my 5-year-old nephew, Kia, to help me finish wrapping my Christmas packages.
First we started with the sibling gifts (we draw names each year for siblings)...I had Micaiah and Dustin had Abigail. Micaiah was easy enough...we put her giftcard in a mug labeled 'Coal'...added some chocolates and bam we were done! With Abigails present Kai insisted on helping cut the wrapping paper...and then taping the box...and lastly, he made the most fabulous gift tag labeled; To: Abigail From: Kai, Dustin, Sarai, and Willliam(melt.my.heart)!
I told Kai he had to be super secretive and couldn't tell anyone what they were getting...well he did hold up to his end of the deal...even though he gave some pretty good tips to everyone about their gifts.
{Enter Abigail into the room where we had just finished wrapping presents}
Kai: 'I know what you're getting Abby, but I can't tell you'
Abigail: 'Oh ok'
Kai: 'It's for your hair though..'
Me: 'Kai...remember its a secret'
Kai: 'Is it a brush? NOOO!'
Me: 'Kai!! ummm, lets go get you some cookies!'
{hahah, we had gotten her a new hair straightener}
We started the celebration after a yummy dinner made from Thanksgiving leftovers.
We were all spoiled way too much!
Thank you everyone for our lovely gifts! We love you all! Merry Christmas!
