Messy Face

Shyanne topped all the kids on New

Year's Eve with this messy face.

Silly Faces

Gabby was showing June how to

get the whipped cream off.

Bows to you

Uncle Keith looks beautiful. I think makeup is next.
What a shiny nose you have.

Santa came!!!!!

I think that Gabby was more excited about Santa than June was. June doesn't quite understand yet. Even so, John and Gabby tracked Santa on NORAD Christmas eve and showed it to Junie. Then, Gabby told June that she had to go to bed if she wanted Santa to bring presents in the morning. June seemed to understand that and ran to get her jammies. The next morning, this is what she found hidden under a blanket.

Dado Dado

Grandma Darla and Grandpa Larry bought

June dado blocks for Christmas. They're cool.

Gabby jumps in to stop the toppling blocks.

June finally gets the hang of it.

She's a quick study.

Christmas exchange

For the last couple of years, at the Morrison's, we have played a gift exchange game. Everyone brings an inexpensive, wrapped gift. Not knowing what you are going to get, you can open a new gift or steal an already opened gift from someone else. This continues until the last gift is opened. Sometimes, when there is a gift that more than one person wants, the stealing can go on and on. This year, both Elise and Stephanie wanted the black sheep, while Gabby wanted the Mr. Potato head. Since you can't steal directly from the person who just stole from you, a third person is required. Gabby ended up being the third person.

Another interesting twist to this years game was that somebody (hint: look left) forgot to bring their gifts to exchange. What ended up in the exchange was a meatball on a fork (pictured here) from dinner and a roll of toilet paper (hopefully Grandma and Grandpa had extra).

Creative wrapping part 2

John did his own experimenting with wrapping.

Horton preferred to wear his Christmas camouflage

John obliged Horton's request and used about

100 small pieces of wrapping paper and

about 2 million pieces of scotch tape.

Creative wrapping part 1

Jerry's inability to spell reared it's ugly head this year. Instead of putting names on the gifts he put pictures. He did show a talent for wrapping. June's gift was disguised as a ball. It was actually a...









BALL.
