First we eat, and we ate good this year! My favorite was the frozen green salad. Then we open presents. The adults draw names, but the children get presents from everyone! I drew Granddaddy's name and gave him a shirt. Andy had Sharon's name and gave her a gift card to Michael's for scrapbooking supplies. Alan had Andy's name and gave him a weather alert radio. Sharon had my name, and she gave me a sandwich press. Owen got an activity walker and a laugh and learn cookie jar that teaches shapes and colors. We also got gift cards to go out to eat, a gift card to Home Depot, and my favorite Carroll tradition, a precious moments ornament for our tree.
Mt favorite part this year was Granddaddy playing Santa. He always sits on a stool and passes out presents. As he is getting older, it is harder for him to get up and down from the stool. One time, he was trying to stand up and he had a hard time, so he pulled himself up with an invisible rope. It was hysterical. I wish I had gotten a picture. We love our Granddaddy!
Enjoy some pictures of this fun night!
