Davison Christmas

We transitioned from the Keara's graduation party in the afternoon to the Davison Christmas party.  It was great to have everyone there except Amy who had to leave for work. 

We draw names each year for gift giving. As we were going around opening gifts poor Zeb didn't have anything and ironically Mark had quite a bit. Turns out Mitch mixed things up and thought he had Mark.  It was pretty funny and Zeb says it is the gift that keeps on giving because he will never let Mitch live it down.  

Mark felt guilty and gave Zeb one of his Bronco gifts. 

Keara made Grandma cry when she gave her a tea towel with hearts that each of us drew on it.  

We played ring toss rudolf style and had lots of laughs.  

Good times. Love my family.

Christmas Pictures

Trying to get pictures of all the dogs together proved impossible so had to go with some individual ones. They look so cute!

 

Sherman's Circle of Love

 

So Mark has always called his future child Sherman. He has done it long before Caroline was pregnant and continues to insist his child will be called Sherman. Needless to say, Caroline will not be having it. 

So Keara decided to write a children's book instead of buying one and she used Sherman as the main character. It was hoped that Mark would be satisfied with that and let go of naming his kid Sherman.

Anyway, she wrote and illustrated the book and it is amazing.

Caroline's Baby Shower

It's been years since I threw a baby shower but one must step up when your sister-in-law is having a baby. Caroline's mom was in town so this was the perfect time to have it. Mom helped quite a bit. I had too much food but I think it looked nice. Games were cheesy but I didn't know if I could go without them or not. Lots of people from Caroline's work attended which was great. It was a nice crowd and Caroline and Mark received some great stuff for the baby. 

I streamed the event so a few people in Scotland could watch her open gifts and feel included.

Once thing I did was ask people to bring a book in lieu of a card so I know they started a nice library of books to read to my future niece/nephew.   

Hopefully Caroline enjoyed it. That is all that is important.
