We decided to get all of the cousin Christmas presents today. I'm hoping to send some gifts down to AZ with Mom & Dad if there's enough room. I also want to shop before the crowds get too annoying. Each child had to remember the names of the cousins on each side and select the gifts all by themselves. They were having a ball. Todd and I were feeling like we were tied to poles while the little ones ran circles around us. H. E. L. P. "Where's Brynn? Who has Brynn? " was the question minute by minute.
45 minutes later we had 14 presents and were all buckled in the car, (even Brynn!) . Phew. They loved picking out the presents and trying to find things they thought their cousins would love. They also loved the wrapping of the presents. I'm going to call it Christmas Art and leave them as is. Presents wrapped with love. Besides, they have character. Maybe I'll even take a photo if they get them all wrapped tomorrow. Oh, that's another bonus...keeping them busy on Sunday afternoon. Good one T + J.
Todd and I dropped off the kids and Ally (love that girl) watched the others minus Sophie while we went to Costco and Cafe Rio. Shea & Heather & little ones stopped by tonight so we made caramel corn and chatted it up. Good times.
Happy Sunday to you tomorrow. JT

"There is one picture of the three of them, sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages 6, 4 and 1. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less."--Anna Quindlen

That's a great Idea for the cousins Wrapping! I am going to do that too.
I bet it was so fun for the kids to pick them all out by themselves!
