Gifts that Keep on Giving....and Being Taken Back!!!

Who knew the hours of fun that would take place when each boy was given a half roll of wrapping paper and their very own tape dispenser?

Everyone is catching the Christmas spirit around these here parts. Even Ransom....who attempts to unwrap the gifts as quickly as they are wrapped! Favorite toys are getting wrapped and are being given....then decided that they really are a dearly loved possession, "so how about we trade?" Other gifts are being wrapped and given...and upon being unwrapped the receiver declares: "Hey! I gave that toy to YOU!"

Gifts are being wrapped (with waaaaaaaay too much paper), and then unwrapped by the same person because they forgot to check the label....or they never marked a name on it in the first place....or they really wanted it for themselves, anyway!

Gag gifts are being wrapped and found to be of utmost hilarity! - Like old socks or NOTHING!

We're letting them wrap and unwrap their own things at will. It's silly. It's fun. It's festive. It really IS teaching them about joy in giving....and it's all leading up to our family Christmas that we'll celebrate this weekend! Whoop!

And it's all going to be VERY hard for Mama to know which toy truly belongs to whom when all the fun finally DOES wear off........

For OUR little family....only 4 more days until Christmas!!!!!!!
