Per usual, we ate too much, shared some good-natured teasing, held our breaths while hearing crashes from the basement, oooohed and ahhhhed over the newest batch of Christmas pajamas that grandma had sewn, engaged in wrapping paper-ball wars, and attempted to corral the children to facilitate dozens of photo ops.
It was a great evening, and a good time was enjoyed by all. I love that despite the busyness of our lives, almost all twenty-four of us are able to come together for one day each year.
And at the close of the evening, I especially love watching the crazy little cyclones (that I call nieces and nephews) climb into their parent's cars and back out of the driveway, while I retire to the coziness of my calm, quiet, home :)
They appear to be little angels, don't they?
Unwrapping some new pj's...
The little models...
Our little princess...
And her growling sister...
Baby Quinn, who had the good fortune of being
too young to get attacked by the older boys...
My fabulous nieces who are getting too cute for their own good :)
And uncle Todd, who was happy to be the instigator of
much of the evening's mischief...
