Special Gifts

If you have followed my blog or you are close to us, you are aware of our "special gift exchange" within our family.  We draw names around Thanksgiving time and we buy our person a gift and write a special note about how they have impacted our lives that year.  It is a nice tradition we continue and the kids love it.  This year Ben had Gabi.  He got her a new watch, earrings and some headbands for her hair. 

Gabi had Tyler.  She got him an IU t-shirt and a Colts Dri fit shirt.  Tyler had me and I must say, he packaged his gift up beautiful :)  (thanks Abby)!  He got me three IU shirts!!!  I had Trenton.  I wanted him to have a bit of home with him and have heard him say several times how much he misses hunting.  So, I got him a hunting game for his x-box.  He also has a new love of the Chicago Blackhawks and figured a nice t-shirt sporting his team would be cool.  Trenton had his dad.  Trenton actually did a nice job this year thinking of some things that would really be "special" - what this gift is supposed to be all about.  He got Ben a frame and put three pictures in it with his favorite things he does with his dad...hunting, fishing and wrestling!  He also got him a couple of movies to enjoy on his new tv he won from a drawing at work last week (46" Sony flat screen HDTV)! 

Great job this year family!!  We open them on Christmas Eve day just before going to my parents to eat with her side of the family.  This year the boys took Maizy out in the morning to hunt some bunnies. Ended up getting two and brought home a very tired doggy!  A nice day to start off the holiday weekend!
