The Crockett's Thrift Store Christmas

Since we Crockett's didn't see each other until AFTER Christmas, and Grandma and Grandpa didn't have the fun of watching us give to each other, 
we decided to have an unconventional, after christmas gift exchange!
Monday morning my mom divided names up so that each of us had someone to give to that night. We then headed downtown for a THRIFT STORE EXCURSION! I hope the new uncle Josh didn't think we were crazy--it was actually the first mass thrift store trip our family had taken. That being said, it was great fun, and everyone found cool things. SO--in an amongst the regular treasures my mom and dad had brought, the rest of us gave each other thift store finds! 
Here we see Meredith with a bunch of CHEAP barbies. She was in heaven.
Random thrift store shirt found by Aaron. Given to Joel.
Holly's face after getting Grandma Vicki's gift--an all in one video, camera and games contraption! 
It was certainly great for the 10 hours home!
 Lord of the Rings book. Treasured by Victoria. Found by Joel.
 A Homemade Calendar with pictures from all the grandchildren and children.
Designed by Mandi. Enjoyed by all.

  1. Fabulous fun idea! I'm surprised you could find anything good right after Christmas. They get pretty picked over around here.
