Christmas Recap Part 4

...Our Christmas Day can easily be divided into four parts with lots of pictures from each part...

Part 4:  My Nana's House

Our last destination on Christmas was my Nana's house for more food, presents, and company.  We got to visit with my cousin Tommy, my aunt Linda and uncle Dave, my mom and dad, Cole and Natalie, Ali and McKay, and of course, my Nana!  Dinner was delicious, Quinn ate a ton of food and purred, "yum!" the whole time.

Then it was time for our annual White Elephant gift exchange.  It was a blast (as always) and people always bring the funniest things.  After the White Elephants, Santa came and left us each a little gift (and my phone/camera died).  We each had to "guess" what we were going to do with it.  Quinn guessed take a bath, but received a Big Bird book.  All the grandkids also got ornaments from Nana, and all the minors (Quinn and Tommy....he turns 18 next month) got gifts from everyone.  Quinn got books from Linda and Dave, and Reni and Tommy, an apron from Cole and Natalie, and a Belle doll and dress from Nana.  She left very happy and very spoiled.

Smile Tommy, Linda, and Grandma!

Red was the first to open the Mexican Fiesta White Elephant that included food and a sombrero. 


(Blurry)  Then Quinn stole it from Grandpa on her turn. 

And Ali stole it from Quinn.

Nana stole the nice white elephant from Patti!  The nerve.

We had such a Merry Christmas!  We were overwhelmed with everyone's generosity and love!  It was a fabulous day!
