My Big Ol' Family's Christmas

The last week has been a whirlwind of family fun. The day after Christmas we left home and headed to the Texas panhandle to have Christmas with my grandparents. Then we went on to Colorado for Corey's family's get-together... thus the delay in posts. Today, we returned home, so I will get some posts put together as quickly as I can. I will probably do several small posts instead of one large one. Tonight I am a bit exhausted after the 3 day drive-a-thon from Colorado that I just did (with a sick husband), so it may take me a few days to get caught up. (Sorry Grandad!)

Before we left for our road trip, we had my side of the family to our house on the day after Christmas. Corey and I made breakfast for the bunch, and we all ate and exchanged gifts. Here are the highlights of the chaos... umm, I mean the fun. :)

When I was a kid, I thought that my family of 6 people was huge. Who knew that we would grow into this... And we are still growing! Right now, we are up to 18 with one on the way. Here's a photo of the whole bunch. It is rare that we are all actually in the same place at the same time, so this was a special day.
