Christmas Get Together

Today was the day we were planning on celebrating Christmas with Owen's playgroup at our house. We started out unsure if the party would actually take place because of some icy weather, but it turned out being fine. Mike and I cleaned up the house and got it ready for guests while Owen hung out and played. We got everything ready so that Mike could leave before everyone was scheduled to arrive. He was not sticking around to party with us and I was instructed to call him once it was safe for him to return.





Everyone made it to our house safely and the party went well. We had a lot of food, presents, fun, and chaos. Our house isn't exactly large, so cramming 7 adults and 7 babies into our basement was interesting. The kids didn't seem to mind though, they had a great time playing with Owen's toys and all of the wrapping paper. We did a secret santa exchange, so that took place today too. Liam drew Owen's name and got him a set of bath toys and a coloring/sticker book. Some of the other gifts that were exchanged included Little People, a FP vacuum cleaner, blocks, books, etc.





I think the highlight of the day was trying to get 7 kids to cooperate for a picture. You would have thought that we were torturing these kids. In the end, we managed to get a few decent pictures out of it.






After the last of the guests left, I called Mike to let him know he was safe to come home. We did a little cleaning up and had to search a little for our remote which was found at the bottom of the trash can.
