When it came in the mail I told Aaron I couldn't even touch it to wrap it it was so disturbing!!<br />And Alaina definitely had fun with presents this year - she got spoiled!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15300330204992682469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947806128800299878.post-16379244122728968522015-01-06T15:08:01.537-05:002015-01-06T15:08:01.537-05:00What a lovely time!

I can just see and hear the laughs, good time and fun.

Cut to the crazy guns 'n roses stuff my hubby had to wear this year on Xmas A.M. He got everybody those graphic print shirts where it looks like - say a favorite food - but it's made up of enlarged pic of the actual food all over the shirt. So needless to say someone got a cheeseburger, someone mac & cheese, another bacon and so on. We'll see if they wear them next year.<br /><br />So fun! Thanks for sharing and here's to another funny year! ;)carrie@northwoods scrapbookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337824046780952876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947806128800299878.post-76711081752447149862014-12-30T09:42:07.594-05:002014-12-30T09:42:07.594-05:00Oh my, Shaun the Sheep -- that is my favorite pres...Oh my, Shaun the Sheep -- that is my favorite present of the evening although I have to say I envy Andrew his back scratcher antler bird leg thing. Allissa and I have watched Shaun the Sheep so many times, I have his antics memorized. I think when she comes to see me on Thursday I'll suggest we lay up in the bed and watch a few reruns.

Alaina is such a lucky girl to have a grandpa who can carve her favorite animal character for her. What a lovely keepsake for her to cherish. Mari, the food looks wonderful (even blurry) and I know you all had the best time!

We've got an old wooden one that we got from The Dollar Tree. It's about worn out. Honestly some of the teeth are missing. Allaina's expression is priceless. Isn't that what it's all about. I'm with Ruby, I slept through Christmas Day. I had a spastic colon attack and didn't get out of bed. Christmas comes this weekend for me.
