Christmas Eve Eve

This year the Savage family decided to exchange gifts on December 23rd. That way everyone could spend Christmas day at home with their children. The festivities took place at Grandma and Grandpa Savages house in Umatilla. Ryan has 5 siblings who were all able to make it accept his brother Cory. He was home sick with the flue, but his wife Sammy and the kids came without him.

We started the evening off with the children exchanging their gifts.

After the kids are finished, the excitement really gets started. For the past few years we have been doing a gift exchange where everyone brings a gift and then we draw numbers out of a hat to see who gets to pick from the pile first. When your number comes up you can pick a gift off the pile or steal a gift from someone else. It can get a little crazy sometimes but fortunately no one was hurt.
