Each year we draw names to exchange gifts. It's fun to see what gifts are given...they are always very thoughtful. It is also fun to watch the cousins interact during the gathering. We had a delicious hot chocolate bar and some finger foods (crackers, cheese, grapes.) It was really weird though because it was a super warm day...69°! I should have made the invite with sunny skies and bike riders and served snow comes.

| Ella gave Aubrey this cute shirt that has her initials monogrammed. She proudly exclaimed "We got this at the cleaners!"...because they did! That is were they got it monogrammed. I love how pleased Ella looks in this photo and Aubrey LOVES her new shirt. |

| Everyone was cracking up when Tanner had Charlotte for the gift exchange. She adores him. The pressure was on to give a good gift and he had no ideas on what to do. I wasn't sure either because the Bird kiddos have pretty much everything already. We decided on a toy horse Maximus, a book and some bracelets. She seemed pleased. |

| Fuzzy Crocs! |
 |
| Parker was SO glad Benja was back from college. He has been so bored at family gatherings. They are three years apart but have some things in common like football and Fortnite. Benja is good to hang with Parker. This picture says it all. |
 |
| Joseph's reactions are The Best. I could have included about 4 other shots that are just as exciting. Hudson gave him an Addidas sweatshirt. |
 |
| Holden gave Tanner about $30 worth of candy. Tanner was thrilled...me, not as much! (Kerry Vore you are in trouble!) |
