Christmas 2012 - Part 1

Our Christmas festivities began on the Saturday before Christmas. This was the day we celebrated with Jake's Mom, brothers and his brother's families. 

We got together at Jake's Mom's house at around 1, where we had lunch, opened presents and played a game. Here are a few pictures I took that day. ☺

There are always a ton of presents under the tree. I think there were 4 presents for each of the 9 children, plus 3 presents for each of the 7 adults!

A quick little family picture before we started opening presents.

Then it was onto opening gifts.

We had a lot of fun that day. Its always fun to watch the kids open their gifts and see their reactions. Bella was hilarious because she was so excited about each and every gift she got. 5 years old is a very fun age for Christmas. ☺

Also, just a reminder about my Super Bowl Recipe Link-Up this coming Thursday.
