Zach, Stephanie, and Isaac braved the weather for "family Christmas" at Andy and Rory's. It was a day full of good food, fun presents, great buddies, and, unfortunately, a little barf!
"PB:" Pre-barf. Isaac would chase, and be chased by, Carter. After what seemed like 819 laps between the living room and the kitchen, an exhausted Carter finally came for a snuggle .. and a barf! After a break, some water, and gifts, all was well again!
The excited look on Isaac's face says all: PRESENT TIME!

For Isaac, animal cards and dress up costumes ..
.. and for Carter .. bubble wrap, a delightful doggy book, and Sarah, the red-head baby!
Games Galore! Isaac got his own Tato head, and Carter got a game (that I can't even begin to spell correctly!). But most content: Rinky, in the smack-dab middle of it all!
"DORA!"

Carter, in her baby's box!
As for our adult white elephant "exchange," nothing was taken or stolen! I was looking forward to swiping a present or two! But we all got some great goodies (Andy and I enjoyed white hot chocolates this evening!). I received musical Catch Phrase. The ticker gives you a song from the chose category, and you can give clues to or sing a chunk of the song for others to guess. Andy 2, Stephanie and I rocked! Andy Chalupa, being extremely literal and somewhat fun-hating, was a hoot to watch!!
Happy and Merry all! Thanks for braving the weather to come up, thanks for hosting, thanks for being the best BBFF (Baby Best Friend Forever!) and thanks for being great pals! Merry Christmas!

We all had a wonderful time. We heart our Ankeny family!
