Thanks-Christmas-giving

For the past several years the Owens side of the family all get together during Thanksgiving week. We all decided to do Christmas for the kids during this week since we are all together. The Sinclairs have been so gracious to host all of us each year. So we got to the Sinclair house for breakfast. So much excitement for what the day has to hold!

Madison and Miki getting ready to open some gifts.
Noah got a gift card from Old Navy to go shop for clothes by himself. He was pretty excited. We all had a good laugh because each of his gifts were sort of tricky - we wrapped his gift card inside a small box then wrapped it in side several other boxes. Each time he opened it there was another wrapped box! Then the Stewart's wrapped a brick in a box with a gift card under way under that and Mimi wrapped his iPOD inside several different packages. And none of us knew we were doing it!
This is cousin Jonah. We wrapped his sweatshirt in a Diaper wipe box. He sat there for about a minute looking at his brothers opening their gifts thinking he really got a box of diaper stuff. Then he saw Noah unwrapping box after box and thought maybe it was joke and then opened it and found the sweatshirt. It was pretty funny! Sorry Jo didn't mean to trick you!
And cousin Elijah - he was so excited - he said "I have always wanted a globe!" It was pretty cute! He also got an Erector Set from Mimi that had everyone excited. Even dad (Charlie) was at the table "helping" Eli get it started.
For some sad reason - my battery went dead!!! - I didn't get a picture of Micah opening his gift. He got a Spiderman digital camera and was pretty excited about it. He and his brothers were taking pictures the rest of the weekend. Below are Madison and Miki opening their gift. Madison got some clothes and a book of her favorite character right now - Curious Goerge!
