Every year on Christmas Eve my parents make a huge feast...mostly just crab, but a with a few other fabulous dishes. This preparation pretty much takes all day to prepare. While we all waited anxiously for a the delicious dinner we hung out, played games and enjoyed all of the chaos that 10 little kids bring.
This is by far one of the things I look forward too. Never underestimate my parents and their second Fridge and Freezer.....loaded with all kinds of different soda pop, fruit, juice, water and usually delicious treats. There for the picking. Everyone is welcome and everyone that comes to my parents house knows this. I love that anyone and everyone is welcome to get whatever they want, whenever they want from any cupboard and fridge/freezer. This being one of the things that I practice in my home. Nothing is off limits.
Games, games and more games. I LOVE THIS TIME TOGETHER. Another tradition!
Christmas Eve Dinner
My grandparents have always joined in the feast. They are great company.....I think so at least.
The three musketeers.
Oklan, Gage and Hayden....all 7 years old!
Ahhhhh.....the crab. YUMMY!
Dinner was great, but chaotic and I have to throw in there the FUNNIEST comment that my brother in law Ty said. It was loud, food was everywhere, tight space, everyone was talking at the same time, especially some very energetic 10 children. Ty says what we were all thinking, "let's get these kids fed and get them the he** out of here". It was hilarious! I am laughing just writing it. You have got to know Ty, he is so funny to me.
Ammon LOVES that I take pictures of the chaos......NOT. This look pretty much explains it all.
Halle loves her Great-Grandma Sundloff. Great Grandma Sundloff loves her.
Another tradition.....pajama's and slippers the night before Christmas.
Emrie was tearing it up...who cares about pajama's this paper is way more exciting.
The two little naughties......Jake and Ava eating their famous sugar cookies from
