The Gibbs Family: MERRY CHRISTMAS GRANDE FAMILY.....

The Grande's Christmas was at Justin and Rachelle's home this year.... It was such a fun, fun time with the family. We did miss the ones that were home sick (Michael, Ashlee and Brylee) others workings (Mike, Daniel, Dustin and Jason). We had others that joined our Christmas for the first time and hope will be around for many more and others that came along for the ride..... Great time had by ALL!!!! The pretty Christmas Tree with all the gifts for the kiddos and musical gift rip off.....

This year I remembered to get a picture of the three of us....
My handsome brother Michael, My beautiful sister Trena and sick with a cold Chris (I look terrible, bags under the eye's and red nose). It seems like every year around this time I get a terrible cold uggghhh!!!! Oh well, I was there!!!

I thought this was such a cute idea...
Trena made this Christmas wreath, we love cupcakes!!!

Time to EAT.....
There was so much food, like always.... BUT so so YUMMY!!!!!

Time for the little one's to open their Christmas gift from The Coogle's and The Grandes!!!
For the last couple of years they have bought the little ones something for Christmas, so sweet!!

Love that HUGE flower Telsea girl.... I think she does too!!!

Nice swing lil' man... I see a baseball player in the future!!!

Then it was the adults turn for gifts, we played musical rip off....It was so much fun and got a little crazy at the end....

Debbie opened her gift....Mark had the final rip off, he took Debbie's and then it went from there. It went through 10 people before the game came to a stop..... This gift was the first gift opened and the last gift ripped. This was the best rip off game I have played in a long, long time!!!!!

Michael's gift was pickled pigs feet and a gift card....
we grew up on pickled pigs feet, pickled egg's, hot sausage. Our Grandpa Grande always had them in his frig.... as kids we would sneak into the frig and eat them.
All three of us loved them as kids....

Eddie wanted to try it..... didn't like it!! LOL

Rachelle tried it.... said it was very, very salty.
Not something she would eat again!!!

then my brother, eating it like it was a chicken leg!!!!
Still LOVES them. LOL

Next on the agenda was charades..... Guys against girls!!
The guys really worked it!!
Mark 3 words....

yes.... on the right track!!!!

Michael's turn....
not sure what he was doing, but he was working it!!!
We played 3 games, the final count girls 2--- boys 1.
Until next year the girls hold the championship for the Grand Charades!!!

had to throw a couple of picture's in from the weekend.... I thought they were to cute to pass up. Landon and Grampa watching "Rosting the noMan!!!" Landon FAVORITE!!!!
