We started a new Christmas tradition at the Huehnergarth house this year. We drew names and bought that person a gift. We weren't suppose to tell who you had but body language speaks volumes!!! The kids enjoyed picking out their own gifts. Rys and Addie were each gieven $20 to spend at Target all by themselves for whoever they had. I helped Owen alittle bit. The kids really enjoyed it and will look forward to it in the years to come. Addie got a cool camera from her Dad none the less!! He also got her a HM3 jewlery box....he picked them both out all by himself!
Mom had Owen...Star Wars stuff....shocker!!!
Owen had Rys and got him a movie (mostly for Owen himself)
Rys was so excited to tell me that he had my name he came over and gave me a giant hug!
Showing off my necklace from Rys. Later I found out Addie and Hope picked it out cuz Rys had to go to the bathroom!! Good job girls!
Cookies we made for Santa. Addie lef the cracker, cheese and sausage. She thought Santa needed to mix it up alittle bit.
Opening up the "Wii" the kids got from Santa. He usually brings gifts for everyone and then also a family gift. They later found out that it was not a real one and it was a training one to see how they treated it!
Christmas day was spent down in Bellevue at Mary's house. I brought all the food and of course the traditional Prime Rib!! We visited, opened gifts and played Bananagrams....with some questionable words mind you!! It was a great day and always good to spend with family! Mary enjoys watching the kids, especially Owen because he never sits still!!

Great blog! I randomly found your blog and when I read that you played Bananagrams, I had to comment. We got that this year and it is great; we, too, played that over the holidays. Its fun and funny to hear someone else talk about that game.
