Christmas Lunch 2010

We had the whole family over for lunch and to open gifts with all the kids. After we cleaned up breakfast and put away the goodies from Christmas morning, we were ready to start with the cousins. After everyone arrived and the presents were handed out, Uncle Chris just yelled "OPEN" and all the kids went at it. I was cooking and could only hear the chaos, so I'm glad Brandon caught pictures of it. I loved seeing how excited all the kiddos were with their presents. I was also excited to see that I survived a lunch for 16 with a brand new recipe and being up at 6 and having Christmas morning before. It really pleases me to host our family and get to entertain and have everyone together. This was the first time in many years we have all been home for Christmas, so this was a blessed one indeed!
