Christmas Eve: part 1

Christmas Eve was a very busy day!  First we went to our friends the Brown's where we had lunch with them and our friends the Johnson's.

Here are the kids lined up to get their lunch.  There are 13 kids total, ages 16 months to almost 12.  8 girls and 5 boys.  It's a wild group sometimes, but lots of fun!

And this is the yummy food that we had to eat.

Here are the oldest kids waiting, and playing around!

After lunch we had them decorate cookies.

Josh really got into the decorating

Every cookie that he did looked like this one.

Eric was our official taste tester.

and Katie watched and helped out the other kids.

It was such a fun afternoon for everyone!
