Earlier in the year, the kids pick out names and the kids will give gifts to each other. That is our way of doing gifts for the families!!!

Tietjen got a hamster pet thing that moves and makes alot of noise!!!

Tietjen likes to have Aiden sit by him on the kitchen floor and play with it!

Anna Belle got a "Princess" cape with the Letter "A" on the back.

She loves it and wears it all the time!!

Aiden got an outfit and a sippy cup with his name on it!!
