As with last year, we had a name style gift exchange, so each of us had to try make or find something for two family members, which balances things out a little. It's hard work to try think of two good gifts for your family, but it's usually worth the effort.
Matthew only got one gift as we teamed up to get him something "bigger" that he particularly wanted.
Nathan managed to take some time off of his schoolwork to join us. ;)
A lot of the gifts had riddle clues for who the gift was for, so selecting a gift isn't always that simple.
Yay, something to share!
Solving a more difficult clue...we did have to cheat a few times, and the clue writer would give a kind of extra hint so that it was solved.
Jennifer was happy with chocolates...she is really curious who they are from, though.
I was given a "lump of coal" by my youngest son. :p (I can tell by the writing style and the poor spelling.)
He liked the book he was given more than I liked my coal. :p
Evelyn now has her own RC car...the hard part is waiting for it to charge up.
Melanie is happy to be able to store more music in one place..she uses her portable speaker an awful lot, in her room and in the sewing room.
And in time for her big trip, Melanie has finished her surprise gift for Grandma. Just in time!
We got a new family game of "Ticket to Ride" which was a real hit.
