Christmas in Forest Hill

Uncle Steve did a great job as the chef while Aunt Cindy was out on call. After having dinner we started in with the gifts.

Nick was the last one in the door so he got to "give" his gift first. Erin was the recipient of this gift. She'll love it!! Erin then "gave" her gift to Uncle Steve. Moving on he gave a gift to Ian (the only one not to post suggestions on the blog.) He looked great with a box of coal. Ian then presented to Aunt Donna, who gave a gift to Uncle Mike, who gave a gift to Linda, who gave a gift to Ali, to then presented a gift to her buddy Nick.

At this point since Nick had already given his gift we moved to the right on the couch and Uncle Bob gave a gift to Kevin (a stained glass Chevy emblem with Kayla in the center). Kevin gave a gift to Sean (he'll like his gift, too) and "Sean" then gave a gift to Julie (nice slippers), who gave a gift to Aunt Randi, who gave a gift to Pop, who then gave a gift to Liz (she'll "sew" like it). "Liz" then gave a gift to Aunt Cindy, who then gave one to Uncle Bob.

Being stuck once again, Matt then gave a gift to Aunt Robin who then gave a gift to Matt. Being stuck again, with only Kim and Uncle Carl left, they gave each other a gift. Kim was last so next year she gets to be first.

Emily also got some gifts from Matt (along with enough hugs and kisses to keep everyone happy.

Quite the day, with games after gift giving, and a good time was had by all. We missed Erin, Sean, Liz and Dave. Also-save your $$ for the 2010 Christmas cruise to celebrate Uncle Steve and Aunt Cindy's 25th anniversay. They're buying drinks at dinner the first night out. Honest!!
