For the DeMie family party, we decided to do a craft with the kids instead of exchanging gifts. A Christmas craft is a tradition my mom started when I was young. It was nice to pass it on to our kids. They made a frame with different paper glued to it. It was fun to see the kids personalities in the kind of paper they chose.
They boys made it through about 15 minutes then it was off to the impromtu wii tourny.
Us girls sat around and giggling and de coupaging.
The Rex's have their own traditions. This year grandma made cupcakes the theme of Christmas. Each child recieved their own ordament.
Every year the kids dress up and do the nativity. Little Henry was the little Jesus. It seems each of our kids has had that job, it's an initiation of sorts. They all enjoy it. With 16 kids it's more choas that spiritual, but fun either way.
Grandma also gives all the kids PJ's. There's is getting to be so many kids they don't fit in the picture anymore!
Our kids were so excited to give the gifts to their cousins. Carson gave Logan this cool sled. Let me tell you 12 year old boys are hard to shop for, but Carson knew his cousin would love this and he did.
And of course they loved their presents too!
