the chaos of 33 people

I'm kind of behind on posting here, but still had to get some of my pictures up.  33 of us where home in Colorado for Christmas.  We had a great time, even though there was a lot of us.

On the 23rd, we went to the church building and played games. One of my awesome brothers organized it and we played human foosball and had some fun relay races. We also got to see some of our families talents. It was such a fun night. I think the adults enjoyed it as much as the children.







After letting the kids get some energy out, we went home and all of the 19 grandkids (minus 3 babies) continued the tradition we had as kids- we would spend one night sleeping under the Christmas tree.


Christmas is much more magical with children.

We had a great time. My mom got knee replacement surgery 10 days before so she was trying to recover with all of us there.  We all helped out with meals and took turns and it turned out great.




Everything is an adventure with a big family. And I wouldn't trade it for the world.

I love this! It sounds like it was a lot of fun and the pictures are PRICELESS!!! I'm glad you were able to go home to witness the fun (and the chaos!)
