Best of the Holidays- My Family's Celebration

so, yes after christmas morning at home we headed off to my sister's house for a little extended family time. eight adults and 5 kids under the age of 5 and one big dog- it was crowded but fun. :)
first things first! bean needs a snack.

waiting patiently for her food.

then off to the family room for gifts. yes bean, that pile is for you. no bean you may not open them all at once. wait until it is your turn!

trying to wait patiently (it didn't really last long.)

sprout perked up when the gifts came out. he was still a little under the weather but was getting back to his usual smiley self.

santa's number one homeboy! ;)

sprout loved this truck my mom got him! he pushed it around a little and took the little animals out and chewed them. really that is all he wants, something to chew!

yay for trucks!

then after all that opening we of course had to play with everything. THEN we ate dinner. my sister didn't have room at her table for all of us so she made a special little table for the girls right next to the big table. the girls LOVED IT!three happy (and hungry) princesses

and that is it. i'm done with the holidays. totally. it was exhausting mentally and physically. i only asked for one thing at the turn of the new year- that we have an illness free and relaxing holiday next year!
please?
pretty please?
with sugar on top?
