Sibling Christmas

We had a wonderful time celebrating Christmas with Rob's siblings and their children; Gramma and Gramps also came to see all the fun. We celebrated our three cousin December birthdays as well(Justin turned 4, Austen turned 3, and Michael turns 1).

Now that the children are a bit older it is so much fun to get them all together to play. They are really beginning to enjoy each other and play well together; plus they no longer need constant supervision while playing together. Well, Michael isn't there yet of course. I found him in the playroom eating chalk!


The food was wonderful also. I forgot to take a picture of all the food. There was a huge spread: dinner and snack stuff covered the dining room table AND the entire kitchen table was covered in sweets.


Here are the pictures from the night:
Uncle Kenneth reading to Ashley, Morgan, and Miriam

After this I had to put down my camera to help open presents and TRY to remember who gave who what!!! It becomes chaos quite quickly!! Next time I must remember to take a picture in the middle of it all. All the paper and toys are unbelievable! It is tons of fun though.
