Lil' SiBLinG*CouSiN ChRisTmas...

With the chaos of Christmas morning, everyone is coming and going at their own times at Grandma and Grandpa Yates...I decided I wanted to try getting all the siblings together for a little party of our own. Missing the Browns and Cutlers, of course, but we still had a good time. and I think most of all the kids loved it! We had yummy soups, rolls, drinks and cake (to celebrate Miss Nicoles Birthday), white elephants, candy bar game, singing Christmas songs while surprised with a bag of gifts from Santas Helpers! :)
Happy Birthday Nicole! Thanks for an excuse to eat YUMMY BTS cake :)
The cousins waiting to see what was inside the bag that Santa's helpers left at the doorstep while the kids sang Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. As soon as they heard a knock, they got so excited and when we opened the door, I loved seeing their reactions, so surprised! Nothing more fun than enjoying kids expressions at Christmas, I LOVE it!
Drew scored this sweet Spiderman set, and hasnt' set it down! He loves it!
and Peyt was so excited about this umbrella he has been seeing at Walmart for awhile...he says the helpers must watch all the kids on a tv in their work room and that's how they knew he wanted it!
Perfect day for needing an Umbrella!
Hey, I DID get all of you to smile! Look at that...well except Eli! My handsome brothers, cute Eli and hot hubby! Love family time.
and the chicas...and...cute Sam with his little cast! Love their attention with electronics!

Thanks for coming everyone and making time in your schedules for a little shin dig! I seriously don't know what we'd do without all the family we have, we are lucky! Love you all! and thanks to Ryan and Amorie for providing their home for us to spend the time together tonight! :)
