Late Christmas activity

The sippy cups were labeled and made ready... 8 of the 9 grandchildren were soon to arrive...

And arrive they did! Noise and activity was NOT in short supply...

Gifts were opened and pictures taken...

Can you find all 8 in this picture?

I'm not sure they need cars on their feet.... seems to me they moved pretty fast without them..

Dinosaurs were a big hit, especially with Preston and Luke...

and Emme had some serious tummy time watching the others play...

Saturday morning proved to be a tad bit too cold for outdoor play!

AGH.

Next time we're celebrating Christmas in July so we can send the kiddos outside for a while..

What shall we do ALL day long in the house? Well....

One could do a puzzle with grandpa...

or have Daddy read a book...

or have a snack with your cousin...

Maybe build a marble tower..

and try to relax while the children play nicely...

Sean tries out his new barn and animals..

while Brooklyn and Timothy play the game Operation ... be careful, don't set off the buzzer!

And after 3 days of fun, finish up with some of grandma's warm sweet rolls before the long car ride home...

They sure were good...

even if they make your hands sticky...

Being together is lots of fun!

(and lots of noise, running, eating, napping, fussing, laughing and in general great family time..)
