School Presents

The last few years we have made it a tradion that the boys all exchange gifts they have bought for the family from school on Christmas Eve. They are usually dime store trinkets, but they have a blast picking the presents out on the own and giving them. The look on their faces is always priceless! It's funny that when we actually finished this year the person that received the most presents was Harley, the dog...go figure:)

Grant wrapped a bunch of bows for Harley at Honey's house. This was the first present!
Grant bought Preston a teddy bear that he really wanted.

Grant bought Doug a hamburger eraser because daddy loves hamburgers:)

Grant bought Connor a clip-on flashlight. Connor's face is of amazement.

Harley modeling her bows from Grant.

Preston bought Connor a necklace.

Connor got Grant a green hockey stick pencil.

Preston is about to burst out of his skin with excitement:)

Preston got Grant a puppy dog.

Connor bought me an angel that is red (my favorite color). Love the thoughtfulness:)

Preston bought Harley a dog toy.

Harley immediately started chewing on it which made Preston so happy that she liked it:)

Connor made a red and white Christmas ornament at school, but when the two colors merged it turned pink. Preston used to love pink, but he thought Connor was making fun of him. Preston started crying then Connor started crying because his feelings got hurt that Preston didn't like it. We had to have a 10 minute intermission for everyone to gather themselves and apologize. It was a perfect time for a lesson on giving and appreciation. This is the pic of them trying not to be mad at each other anymore:)

Doug slightly entertained by the entire mess!

Connor bought Preston a blue piggy bank (his actual favorite color).

Doug's present from the family.

I bought him an I-phone radio charging dock.

Poor Daisy all covered with wrapping paper. I think she slept through the unleashing of presents.
