Billy: "Does it concern you that your daughters can break into houses in multiple ways, but don't know how to hem a pair of pants?"
Rachel: "My boyfriend has some mad balloon animal making skills!"
Billy's skills, not so much:"I made a tadpole!" 
On my package: "The most lovely lady on the block. The one and only beautiful Hott Mama"
To Rachel, a Gift card to Barnes and Noble:
Roxanne: "I couldn't find the book you wanted, so I got you a gift card."
Billy: "I fell asleep at that Barnes and Noble so I hope the card means something special to you."
Gift tag from Melanie: To Kyle the Tile "I tried to make it sound cool, but nothing really rhymes with Kyle" His gift, a remote control police car: "I'm going to pull someone over with this!"
Melanie's favorite gift, a Bedazzler: "I have been dreaming about this FOREVER! I'm going to bedazzle everything !" Everyone else: "You can bedazzle your easy bake oven!" "Nobody leave your shoes out!" "I'm afraid to go to sleep now!"
New bag of Potpourri: "You know how our bowl of potpourri is dusty? Now we have a new scent. We can bedazzle it. It will be pretty and smell good"
Roxanne: "Billy knows just what I like." Billy: "That's because I told her - here is $20, walk around the mall and if you find something, buy it."
Dave gave the girls some HUGE illustrated storybooks. Melanie: "Roxanne, now you can be a 2nd grade teacher!"
Melanie, opening a video: "I've never seen the Three Stooges. I think this will finish up my education!"
Dave gave Rachel a gift that included a LONG letter listing all the reasons he loves her, which included: "I love you because you know what a groove reducing coupling is."
(It was a box that scrolled out a long letter, (a LONG letter) then scrolled out into a string of money-all $2 bills)
Dave got everyone wooden 3D puzzles.
Melanie: "I got a wasp, no . . . a cicada."
Roxanne: "What's a cicada?"
Melanie: "It's those bugs you don't want to see floating in your pool."
Rachel: "Mine's the best, I got the Eagle."
Cynthia: "It says for ages 6+, so there's a bit of a buffer there."
Cynthia: "It says for ages 6+, so there's a bit of a buffer there."
Billy: "My dinosaur will eat your motorcycle"
Kyle: "But my motorcycle is cross country so it will chase your dinosaur."
Billy: "But your motorcycle will need some fuel sometime and my dinosaur will be waiting at the gas station."
Billy, opening a Charger's t-shirt from Roxanne: "Now we can go to the Charger's games in style . . . well, once Roxy buys us both some Chargers tickets."
Melanie got some barbie clothes and stuffed them with money for Rachel to get a new outfit. Imagining taking these to the store with her: "I know you don't take checks, but do you accept "doll"ars?"
We ended the day with a messy house, our bellies full of Christmas goodness and a lot of this silliness:

Your family is so creative in how they give their gifts!
Melanie and Savannah would be great friends. She got an easy bake and her best friend got a bedazzler. So fun!
