The letter of 2011.........................G

For those of you that don't know Mom started a tradition about 7 years ago that began with the letter A. That means.......................each year we have a different letter and our gifts that we give have to begin with that letter. 2011 was the year of the G gifts.
Now if you know my mother at all she tends to go OVERBOARD with the whole idea and by the end of the night we are all very TIRED of the letter.
As you can see Mom can decorate a pretty good table. We had a gingham table cloth, green candles, gauze that ran down the center of the table and a Gatorade at every place setting.


Cheap GAUDY snowmen also found a spot at the table!


Yes, this is mom...........................she and Dad were our GREETERS!!


After we eat Mom reads a story that has LOTS of the letter G in it that she has so carefully written! We are all given a package and every time a word begins with G we pass the gifts. Now your gift may be grand or it may not but it begins with the letter G.

My brother Jeff received a very fine box of Gas-X. We also had a giraffe, gorilla, grease and ginger.


I believe these fell under the GRIPS category?
Grinch sleep shorts, pants and shirts were also wrapped up.

So, next year is the letter H. Mom has already bought gifts and the ideas start swirling before the evening is over. The question is..................can she remember where she stashed the H gifts?!?
