Christmas recap

We had a very good Christmas this year. Every year brings new things with these little ones. Last year was the really the first year Grace got the whole Santa idea. That was so much fun. This year she really got the purpose for giving. Each year we have our kids pick out their own presents for Jamie and I, their grandparents, and their siblings and cousins. This is more for my sake than anything, but here is what the girls picked out.
Grandma Stewart- cookie cutters. this was cute because the girls love to make cookies with grandma stewart
Grandpa Stewart- a new drink mug. Ever since I can remember my dad has carried around diet soda in a big mug. When Grace saw one of these at the store she knew her grandpa would like it.
Grandma Pruden- a shiny purple more traditional mug. Grace and Sarah know that their grandma pruden shares their love of the color purple and knew she would love this gift.
Grandpa Pruden- a superman foot mat for his car. Awhile ago at some festivle grandpa had his bald head painted with the superman logo. Grace remembering this knew this was the perfect gift.
Jamie- Sarah got Jamie a blanket. This is Sarah's most important possesion, so naturally she wanted to give Jamie the same.
Grace got Jamie a tie for his "bishopricing" as she says. She knows how important it is for her dad to spend time at the church.
Brittany- Sarah got me some pink shoes, and Grace got me a new coat. I think what I take from this is that even my children are noticing that I desperately need some new clothing!
Grace got Sarah a barbie to take in the bathtub because Sarah has been jealous of Grace's for quite some time now.
Sarah got Grace some little tiger toys because she knows how much Grace likes to have animal toys.
Sorry that was a bit long. But that truly was the best part of my Christmas. Seeing my girls be so excited to GIVE their presents.
Here are a few pictures!
