Right Gift Exchange

For a family gift exchange with grandma, she put Adley and I up to writing a story including left and right directions. Each person is given a gift. As the story is read when the word "right" is said you pass that gift to the person your right. When the word "left" is read you pass to your left. It made for a very fun time. Here is the story:

The Halversen's

It all started in November. Zach left his studies to try and find the right job, He left Tess at home but she was right with that.

Gayle and Stephen also left their home and headed right for AZ. Because they left first, they arrived right in time to get Zach from the airport. They were right there to help him.

Once they all left the airport there were lots of right turns they had to make to get to Chal’s house.

Zach left to several interviews in hopes that one would be the right place for him to work. Chal knows that those interviews would be the right place for him.

Thanksgiving soon followed. It was only right to eat as much food as possible. We left the table sad to have eaten so much. It all went right to our bellies.

We left to see a movie at just the right time. There were no lines to the right or to left. So we were left to walk right into the movie. I don’t know if Hugo was the right movie for the kids but it was right enough after we left for home. Thanksgiving left us all feeling very happy.

Josh and Amber then left their home and came right to Chal’s. Right away it was a good time to be with family. Josh left to buy a new Christmas tree. He headed south, meaning he made several left turns to get there. Right after he got back they left to go home.

Stephen and Zach left next. They headed right for Idaho as Zach is still trying to find the right job. We were sad they left.

But they left Grandma behind. This left Grandma with a huge chore. She left her normal busy life to look after Janeen right after her shoulder surgery on her right side.

While Gayle was at her right side, Jeni and Nisha were right there making sure nothing was left out of the house remodeling. They even mailed samples right to the house for grandma to choose from. Everyone was left with lots of chores.

Papa was right in the middle of all the changes as he left life upstairs and lived right in a little corner barely remaining while the men worked on the floor. They were the right men because they left a beautiful new floor.

Nisha and Jared left Draper and planned the right kind of holiday. Everyone has been right happy with all the activities and fun (except when everyone left to ski, I could only stay and write this left and right story J)

Cameron and Jeni left with Sam right by their side. There were right, Grandma and Papa loved the family quilt. And grandma was right about Sam’s monkey love. It left us all laughing and enjoying Christmas.

No one has left yet but we are all happy to be right here, at the right time with the right people in the right season.

Merry Christmas ~ enjoy what’s left of our time together.
