We headed to Grammy and Papa's house next for Christmas lunch. Brad, Britany, Tana, and Taylor were able to come home from Arizona this year. We were so happy to have them back in Washington and also so happy to meet baby Taylor. We had a Country Rib dinner and afterwards thebig kids opened their presents while AJ napped. Dad, Brad, and Armand bonded while they played computer games. The girls had fun hanging out and relaxing (as much as we could with five kids ages 5, 3, 2, 1, and 0.)

Thanksgiving Round 3

Papa and Grammy explaingin the rules to Ayden and AshtenAyden wished for a Remote Control Car.

Ashten wished for a Gun to shoot people.Ayden won!

I told Ashten that he lost because he wished for something naughty. Our last party was today at Grammy and Papa's house. I totally forgot to take pictures until the boys were going to break the wishbone. This dinner was our least traditional, Hawaiian haystacks made with turkey. The kids had a lot of fun playing games, cars, Legos, and watching movies with their cousins in the play room upstairs. Downstairs the grownups played games like Pictionary and Yahtzee. Some of the girls worked on crafts while almost all the boys played Counter Strike on the three computers and two laptops. We left at 1:30am! The boys were beat but they said they loved the party and playing with their cousins.
