We celebrated the Gardner family Christmas on January 2nd, 2010, in North Newton, Kansas at the home of Uncle Todd, Aunt Rhonda and Cousins Matthew, Abigail, Jacob and Levi Gardner. My daddy has a severe case of strep throat so he stayed home but me and mommy road with Grandpa & Grandma Gardner and Great-Grandma Ruth. 
Great-Grandma Ruth; Grandma Gardner, Uncle MOOSE; Grandpa Gardner and Cousin Kolby sittin' around the table, playin' Grandma Gardner's favorite card game: PROGRESSIVE RUMMY! She always wins too!
More cards with members of the Gardner family!
I don't know anything about cards so I decided to go to the basement and play with the toys....Barbie's are sort of interesting.....but everyone is laughing and taking pictures and saying things like "I can't wait to show your dad this picture of you playing with dolls." or "I can't wait to show you pictures of you playing with dolls when you get older." I don't understand!
Grandpa and Grandma Gardner playing with Abby and I!
My cousin Abigail and I had a great time at Christmas playing together! We played and played and played!
Uncle Troy played with me too! Here he is teaching me things NOT TO DO with this dump truck! I think he looks like a pteradactyl getting ready to take flight or he had one too many beers....hmmmmm!
Jacob got this really awesome dump truck for Christmas! It was so much fun and he was nice enough to share it with me!
Here are some of the bigger kids playing in Matthew and Jacob's bedroom! They were jumping off the top bunk on to the full-sized bed below! They are real "wild childs" if you ask me! From left to right the kids playing were Julianna, Jacob, Kylie and Matthew. They are all Gardner cousins of mine!
Unlce Troy let me sit on his lap while we opened presents. He was even nice enough to let me open some of his presents for him and play with his toys first! What a helluva nice guy!
Great-Grandma Reynolds got this really nice sweatshirt that has little boy and girl stick people on it with all of the great-grandchildren's names on it! So awesome!
Grandma Gardner has gifts to open too! Sure was a nice Christmas for all of us Gardner's!Some of the kids got this super sweet toy from me and mommy and daddy for Christmas....it's a paddle ball! I watched the other kids play with it and then when one of them sat it down, I snatched it up so I could give it a try (since someone didn't care to get me one too...thanks a lot MOM and DAD)! :( Here's a video of me practicing my paddle ball skills! Enjoy! Hope everyone had as nice of Christmas' as I did. I enjoyed all of mine from Northeast Missouri to Northwest Kansas. It was so much fun to see all of mine, mommy and daddy's family members and to visit and spend time together. And I ain't gonna lie....the presents were mighty nice too! Thank you to everyone for opening you homes to me and my family and for the wonderful time spent together and gifts given! I love each and every one of you and miss you all the time....especially my Grandma and Grandpa Chinn (they live the farthest away)!
