Cleft Christmas '12

Love celebrating the season with our little neighborhood.
We enjoyed breakfast for dinner again this year -
which we decided is such a win-win.
It's yummy to eat AND all the kiddos like it.
No fights over eating their supper!

The older boys looking so grown up -
and mean.
Come on guys ... smile!

Stacey & Amanda laying out all the yumminess.

Bowdie guarding the bacon/sausage thingy's I made.
They are seriously yummy -
and we have some boys that would seriously eat them all.
Every. single. one.





Love how Stacey had the boys all in the breakfast area,
the girls in the foyer,
and adults in the dining room.
She SO has the gift of hospitality -
it literally oozes from her being.
Seriously.

The kiddos all drew names again this year -
they were waiting with baited breath to give & receive!!

Jacob gave Will W. an iTunes card ...

Jarrett gave Will M. a table/floor soccer game ...

Ethan gave Jacob a book of weird but true facts ...

Blaine gave Ty a table/floor football game ...

Wesley was feeling sick, so Will took his place ...
Jarrett got a baseball history DVD ...

Then it was time for the adults to exchange family gifts ...

... the Smiths gave each family a Thirty-One bag with Team (insert last name)
embroidered on it ... LOVE!


Heather is holding the Stokes gift -
which was a family game night box.
It even included playing cards with each family's last name on them.
LOVE!

Photographer fail:
Mock's gift was a box that contained homemade fudge sauce and other ice cream toppings,
as well as some cool glass dessert dishes.

The Warbington's gift was a cute metal container
with a gratitude journal, a stack of gratitude reminders,
and a list the family compiled of why they were thankful for each neighboring family.
LOVE!

Wonderful evening ...
wonderful friends ...
