Christmas, Part 5

On January 2, we got together with my dad's side of the family to do Christmas with them. We all went to my parents' house around noon and had lunch together. Aunt Bev gave Hunter a gift first because everyone else was busy watching the Ravens game. Once again, he enjoyed ripping off the paper. He got some bongo drums.

Hunter also received this book that has something textured on each page for him to feel. We've read it a few times already and he loves to run his fingers along the furry objects.

Hunter was my favorite present of 2010, so I put a bow on him!

Hunter got plenty more cool toys and cute outfits from Aunt Bev, Kim, and Nadean.

Peyton was simultaneously opening his gifts from Aunt Bev, Kim, and Nadean. He got some more Trio blocks. His favorite was this set that could make a barn. If Peyton loves one thing, it is animals, so this gift was perfect!

Kim, Bo, and Dougie hooked up Peyton with this really fun Chuck and Friends stunt race car track.

There were so many gifts for Peyton and Hunter. There's no way I could include all of the pictures. Again, they are so spoiled!

Kyle, Peyton, Hunter, and I got Austin the Wheel of Fortune game for his Wii and a gift card to iTunes.

We got Dougie the Air Hogs helicopter that takes digital video and pictures as it flies around.

As for the adults, since there are three families on each side (Us, Jeremy/Jill, and Mom/Dad) versus (Aunt Bev, Kim/Bo, and Nadean/Vester) we each choose names out of a hat on Thanksgiving to determine who each couple will buy for. This year, we chose Aunt Bev's name. We got her some car mats and a gift card to Olive Garden.

Kim and Bo got our name. They got us gift cards to Cheesecake Factory and PF Changs. Yum! They also got us a cute penguin blanket and a Terps ornament for our tree. Kim also gave me a picture frame that says "Cousins" with a picture of her and me from her wedding way back when I was only 4 years old. I was her flower girl. That was a pretty special gift.
Everyone hung out for a little longer to finish watching the Ravens game and we had some dessert. Eventually the party broke up and everyone headed home.
