Christmas #1- Gerdes Family!

We hosted Christmas at our house this year for the entire Gerdes clan + Les :)  10 adults & 5 kids, so there was a house full!  There are 3 more grandkids than last year!  We all attended church as a family on Sunday morning and then gathered in the afternoon for our Christmas celebration.

All the grandkids together.  Izzy, Jeremiah, Grace, Boston & Brigham
 Glady was very excited about her new vest from Jeff & G.
 Boston sure loves Grace! 
 Boston helping open a gift of Brigham's.  The boys were spoiled once again by Uncle Jason & Aunt Shana.  Thank you again for all the wonderful gifts for the boys!  Brigham got 2 new shirts & a toy! 
 Boston opening up a gift from Jason & Shana.  He got some wind pants & a hooded sweatshirt! 
 Boston opening up his gift from Jeremiah. 
 It was a Captain America figure & extra darts for his dart guns!  He was SO excited about getting a new super hero.  He hasn't let it out of his sight since!
 Jeremiah got new cars characters from us!
 Derek's gift from Chels & Tim!  Adults & kids exchanged names this year and the Eisenga family lucked out with all 4 of us!  :) 
 Aunt Shana & Brigs.  I just love this picture!
 Boston isn't quite sure why he got Nerf discs from Jason & Shana because he doesn't have a nerf gun...
Oh wait!  He GOT a new Nerf gun too!  It's a good thing Uncle Jason won the grand prize gift in the gag exchange (free babysitting for my kids!) because I think he's looking forward to trying out the new disc gun! 
Brigham got some blocks & a cell phone from the Eisenga's!
Izzy got a book and an outfit from us!
 Grace got lots of clothes and books!
Brigham helping himself to the presents!
 Glady got a bowl made in Zuni.  It was very pretty!
I made Glady some 'FAMILY' blocks! 
I feel so bad that I didn't get pictures of the boys opening any of their gifts from Glady!  Boston got the movie Cars 2, some socks and boxer briefs (just like dad!) and a devotional for boys.  We have read 2 devotions each night!  Brigham got a Praise Baby DVD and some long sleeved thermal shirts.  Both boys also got an ornament from Glady.  It's a tradition that we look forward to each year!

 Onto the gag exchange..  There are always a TON of laughs! 
Chels got some lactation enhancing tea!   
 Poor Les..  This is the 2nd year in a row he has been a part of our family Christmas, and also the 2nd year he has chosen the 'naughtiest' gift in the gag exchange!  As soon as he grabbed the bag, I grabbed my camera because I knew it was going to be hilarious!  His first words were 'Oh neat, a new Coke glass!'.  Little did he know it said 'I enjoy Vagina' on it :)   
 G got a pretty dress!
 Les & Grace chillin on the couch while us girls played a game!  Did you know that Mermaids have legs?  Glady sure thought they did!
 While the girls played a game, the boys watched a movie! 

Fun was had by all!
