Henderson Family Christmas

We always get together with Adam's parents and Brian and Kristin a few days before Christmas to exchange presents between all of us. Ava was super excited since she was itching to open presents.



I love this age. Everything is so magical and fun and opening presents is half the fun- she doesn't care if they are for her or not, she just loves to open them! (of course, she is also 4 and would love for every present to be hers as well!)



She got lots of great gifts, including a Barbie goes Camping set....now, am I the only one who thinks 'Barbie' wouldn't be caught dead in a tent? haha!



 



See what I mean about opening your presents for you?



She gets excited about jewelry- she is a girl after her mama's heart!



So maybe you remember last year when we gave my dad a gift certificate, but we wrapped it in this prank box? Well, we did it again with Brian. I hate giving gift cards- H.A.T.E. it. Every gift I give has a lot of thought that goes into it- probably too much- I stress over Christmas gifts, but I also want to give people what they want, so it make it a little more fun to open, we decided to wrap Brian's gift card in this 'Toe Tunes' box that I had saved from last year. It's always so funny watching someone open it because you can tell they don't really know what to think but you know they don't want to hurt your feelings. We tried to keep a straight face until he actually opened the box and found his gift card :)



We had a good time and it made Ava even more excited about Christmas- especially since she knew it wasn't but a few days away.
