Cutrell Family Christmas

I just realized that this was saved in my drafts and I never published it last week.


*Warning - A lot of pictures below.  My sister, Carol, got a new Nikon camera for Christmas. 
I look forward to Cutrell Family Christmas every year.  It's usually the only time during the year that my Dad's entire family all gets together. This year we all meet in Sulphur Springs on Friday night and spent the night.  

Reading some of the books that Harper got from Aunt Susan

We always enjoy playing games!

One of my favorite traditions is gathering around the piano and singing Christmas songs.

Another Cutrell Family tradition is the White Elephant Gift Exchange game.  We all bring a gift and then you draw numbers, open a gift when it's your turn and then you get to steal if you want someone else's gift.  It always gets a little vicious with all of the cousins playing.

Crystal goes in for the steal.

I picked this gift to open because it was wrapped pretty.

Little did I know that Johann had wrapped it in about 10 layers of newspaper and put duct tape around each layer.

It took me about 10 minutes to open it.

After all of that - it was stolen from me! Jeff ended up with the College Football Encyclopedia!

I think I might just steal my sisters camera.  It's fabulous!
