Christmas Came A Little Early

We opened like half of our gifts, since Craig and Nana are down. But it really doesn't make a different whether we opening them now or no Christmas Day, it's kind of the same thing. Who cares. As long as we're all together and having fun.
Sandy got all of us girls a cute beanie hat.
Mom and me being silly.
Dad gave Craig and Nana their own scuba gear. Awesome. I want one. Hint! Hint! Haha.
I got the game "Life: Extreme Reality Edition" from Craig and Nana. They said because my life is about to hit reality. Haha. Whatever that means. I look kind of mad in this picture. Haha.
I gave Kayla a beautiful dress with a matching doll dress.
Craig got a Kramer shirt from Stephanie. Haha.
My parents gave all of us $100. I can totally use this. Haha.
I got all my siblings their own cookbook, apron, and a couple kitchen utensils.

Gift Exchange

This year we decided to start a new tradition. All the siblings pick names for a gift exchange. $20 minimum. We tried to keep it a secret but everyone knew who each other had anyways. So it didn't last very long. Haha. So much for a secret. Haha. We'll see how we do next year. Haha.
Nana laughing cuz her gift was in a Bud Light box. Haha.
She got two pairs of jeans from Michael.
Sandy got Slippers from Craig (I think or maybe it was Nana)
And some Gift Certificates for a pedicure.
Stephanie got a flameless candle with some scents that smell really good from Nana (or Craig, Haha).
I got a nice leatherish jacket from Stephanie.
Craig got a nice watch from me.
Michael got a Gift Card to Chevron from Sandy. Haha.

Ornament Exchange

So for the past 3 or 4 years my sisters and mom do an ornament exchange. Our theme this year is Disney Animal Characters. I had Stephanie this year. It's always fun to get a different ornament. We decided to do this because when we all move out or start our own families, will have ornaments to put on our trees.
Mom got Bambi and Thumper from Nana.
Nana got Lady and the Tramp from Stephanie.
Stephanie got Lady and the Tramp also from me.
I got Pongo (101 Dalmatians) from Sandy.
Sandy got Jaques and Gus (Cinderella) from Mom.
My Mom said that the two characters reminded her of Eric and Daniel. Haha.

Kayla got Princess Tiana (The Princess and the Frog) from Mom. My Mom wanted to get her an ornament although it wasn't part of the theme.
