We celebrated Christmas with the Campbell immediate family last night. We always get asked - so how are family get-togethers with 7 kids ages 5 and under. Well...one word...chaos. We had a great time, as usual, but I think all slept well last night! Thanks Mom for making a yummy chicken dish and helping out with so much.
Getting ready for dinner
Eating before the party starts
Everyone arrived and the cousins were very excited to see each other. After getting the kids settled, we took a break for dinner - a nice "relaxing" dinner with the adults. Meaning...Callie, Robbie, Maggie & Masin watching a movie downstairs and making crafts, taking turns one at a time to plea their case of why they should be with the grown-ups; Andy bumping away in his high-chair; Nick eating and throwing food in his high-chair, and Miller making music in the exersaucer. After a quick clean-up, it was time for presents!
The "older" cousins
Too much fun resulted in some tears and time-out (this is the only one I actually captured)
Even though we agreed on a no-present rule. Santa Ka and Santa Bapa don't really know how to follow this rule. So...we all had a little something to open up - Thanks Ka and Bapa!
The anticipation of presents....
Reading the fun books for the kids
Miller hit the sack early, but here are the little guys - enjoying the wrapping paper and bags more than anything.
End of the night...Andy still smiling. And I am showing my "little" baby bump. 3 months (13 1/2 weeks) and growing!
