She gave very creative Christmas gifts, all of which she wrapped herself in used Young Women lesson visual aids and dental floss (we are hoping that wasn't used!).
For example, here is what she gave me, a piece of old pillowcase, decorated with a love note, a heart shaped marble and some cutout flowers -
She also spent a big buck and got Stan a lovely purple silk tie...at the dollar store!
She was excited to receive gifts as well. She got what she wanted from Santa - a musical jewelry box. Gwen also regifted (wait, can you call it that if it never was a gift to begin with?) a lovely hairnet she had been keeping since the last time she came and helped me at the dry pack cannery that Kelly has been coveting. Kelly was so happy, so wore it for a while, with ribbons added to make it extra festive. She is also wearing some of the eyeshadow Aunt Sara sent to Summer.
Stan started off the morning by starting a fire in the fireplace. When we were done opening gifts, it had burned down to hot coals perfect for roasting marshmallows, which is just what Kelly did, despite the fact that she thought the coals looked, "creepy".
Merry Christmas!
