Day two at GMa's house was filled with more delicious food, more fun games, and of course...lots of presents! My favorite memory from this day was playing the telephone Pictionary game with Poppa Jim...it was hilarious! His drawings were...interesting...and we all laughed until our stomachs hurt. Losing Uncle John this year has been very hard on Poppa, and it was fun to see him having such a fun time. Another very sweet memory from this day was GMa's "gifts" to us big kids. We didn't exchange gifts among the adults this year, but she wrote each of us an "imaginary gift," if she could give us anything in the world, what would it be kind of thing. Mine included a live-in maid who would cook, clean, and do all the laundry...and a trip to hang out with Lauren Graham and the cast of Gilmore Girls...yes please! As always, GMa went above and beyond on gifts for the kids, and they loved it all! Jack was very happy to get his black Spiderman suit! It was a sweet day all around, spent with our favorite people. Connie even got to spend Christmas with us this year, which we all loved! We ended the evening by playing Dirty Santa, with little gifts that she brought, and it was the best time. Proof that gifts do not have to be big or extravagant, for a good time to be had! Poppa especially loved his kazoo & provided much entertainment to all!
This year's wrapping paper :
Jonah - Minecraft
Jack - Spiderman
Mack - Frozen
Madi - Stitch
I think the majority of Madi's Christmas gifts came from Sephora this year!
Jonah got lots of new Thunder gear!
Love this gift!! =0) How fun to pretend! My mom put so much thought and time into this little project...what a treasure!
Brian's gift was spot-on too! Traveling the world in a private jet and the finest mountain bike...she knows him well!
One of the things in Connie's Dirty Santa game was a can of sticky sardines...they were flung everywhere!
Literally so funny!
I wish I could remember what this was actually supposed to be...but it looks like 3 fried eggs with legs to me. Needless to say, this one didn't make it around the table as it started out!
Now this...this is Poppa's "signature" duck drawing!
Opening presents & putting together new legos is just exhausting!
