Christmas Day

Yay!  I'm finally getting through all my pictures.  Let's just say there are lots.  :)
Christmas day we spent at my grandparent's house.  There were 40 of us, I think.  It was pretty amazing to have that many people together to celebrate, however, out of respect to some people not wanting their pictures on the Internet, I'll try to only post pictures of our family.  We had lunch then played games, some of us played outside in the beautifully bright, somewhat warm sunshine, and then we opened presents.

The sisters (with Dad's help to peel the oranges) made these adorable
Christmas trees to decorate the table.





The long table to hold 40 people.



Dad's talking Bryan.



Watching the kids play outside--great excuse to stay
in the sunshine instead of in the busy house.



Brandon antics.  Once he did do a face-plant after jumping off this wall and got
a bloody nose.  Didn't seem to faze him, though.  He just kept wiping the
blood on his shirt and then jumped again.  :)

 

Thrilled to be RUNNING and not coughing!



Brandon and my cousin's two-year-old were the present delivering elves. 
However, Brandon hardly knew anyone there so it was interesting trying to explain
who he was supposed to be delivering the present to.



This one was easy!

Have a wonderful afternoon.  I'm hoping the sunshine stays for a little longer so we can go for a walk this afternoon...might be wishful thinking, though.
