The Gardner Girls

 

We got Matt and Alicia punch cards at Gold's for 15 shakes each. I made them these shake cups with the coupon on the outside and ripped paper on the inside to look like a shake. They got us a fun new game called Dominion which we had fun playing all break long.

 

I made Aspen, Zoe and Addi little bejeweled treasure canisters, earrings, necklaces, bracelets and notebooks.

Brooke and Ryk in their new rollerblading gear.

 

Ryk was by far the funnest this Christmas. The girls were a little entitled and spoiled. Ryk's favorite thing was his Diary Of A Wimpy Kid books. He carried them around for weeks. Here he fell asleep on the family room floor reading.

 

Rick was so against this gift but I knew Brooke would love it. It is a slushy maker, It works really well and Brooke has used it upwards of 20 times already. Every time she has a friend over she gets it out.

 

Teeky was so stinking cute when he opened this gift from my mom. He didn't know the Transformers name so he looks and me and says, "Ooh Mom look, it's that guy."

 

Rick got a diffuser from my my Mom, hopefully he will breathe easier at night.

 

Russ gayin it up, "haaaay." :)

 

Russell got a bunch of food from my Mom. Right up his alley.

 

Most of the gifts Mom gave this year were brought back with her from her visit to Peru, this is my Sis, Patty in a cowboy hat she brought back and my brother, Danny with his Peruvian quena, (flute),chuyo, (hat) and poncho.

 

Jade, Teneh and Sunny with their Peruvian satchels. Everything my Mom bought she got at the Indian markets so they are hand made by the Peruvian Indians. Some of my brothers and brothers in law got really awesome chess sets, I didn't get a picture, but they were pretty.

 

We got Mom this chair with umbrella. We spent an afternoon at the splash park last summer taking turns holding something over our heads to block the sun. She was outdoors a lot last summer, so we thought she would appreciate this. She did.

Jade and Nayner in their chuyo's.
