Parental Gifting

The highlight of this year was the kids gift to our parents.  As you may or may not know, Christmas 2010 the kids got together to give the parents a "Pie of the Month". Things happened and the giving ended up at Christmas Eve dinner 2011. No all 12 boxes were not full of pie, but they didn't know that.  It was such fun to see them trying to figure out what to do with 12 pies. Then we had them open something they will use to stay in contact with everyone,

 So here is Mom opening up her I Pad, the old fashion version, Dad has a gift card for Marie's, one of their favorite places to lunch. Dad face was priceless......

Yes, we got them a  new IPad II, when dad gets done setting it up, mom will be able to check her face book & emails with the touch of a finger on the couch in front of the new flat screen TV she's not watching.
More Christmas photos in the next posting.
