Christmas night - at the Z house

Our final destination on Christmas day was the Z families house.  The V family joined us along with my sister.  The kids had a gift exchange.

Miss S got Little Pumpkin some play dough.   (She was very mad that I did not let her open it!)
Little Lion got some more Legos!  A police helicopter!  He was so excited too.



Chia Lu calmed all the tears with some play dough and toys!

Mr. S and Tia S.
The V family Matriarch and Patriarch!  


Chia Lu and Chu Chrys.  So sweet of them to open their house!

Tia S, Tia (my sister), Daddy Lion and Mr. S during the game!

We also had a "Chinese" gift exchange.  Not sure if that's political correct.  Anyway, the concept is everyone brought a small gift and we drew numbers then took turns picking gifts.  (You were allowed to steal from each other.)  

Well, we found out who are true friends were!  I had wrapped a small framed picture of our family.  No one wanted it!  Then the very last person exchanged the picture for the gift card to Lowe's Daddy Lion was holding!  The kicker was, we had put a gift card to Starbucks behind the picture!  Too funny!!!  So we'll be at Starbucks soon to get our pastry and smoothies since neither one of us drinks coffee!  *grin*

  1. That is too funny how your exchange ended up! I love those Chinese exchanges. We do them once a quarter at church with lunches that each individual brings cleverly wrapped. Sometimes it's all about the wrapper and other times it's about the size, and still other times it's the promising aromas coming from under the wrapping!

  3. Too funny about your gift exchange. Very creative to put a gift card on the back. Your Christmas day sounds packed. I am not sure how you managed to fit in all three events! Hope January is a bit slower :)

  4. That sounds really fun.
    I would give my teeth for a picture of your family, too bad I wasn't there.
