It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

We celebrated Christmas with my family last night. I love getting together with my family. There's just something fun about filling my parent's small house with 20+ adults and 7 little ones ranging from the age of 1 to 5. They are pretty hilarious...especially when you get them all together. Leyton and Bryan [who is 5] are starting to play so well together. Leyton dances around to the sound of a singing snowman while Bryan stands next to him pointing and laughing. I have to agree...Leyton dancing is pretty humorous. I wish I had video of that. [Note to self: Remember the camcorder at the next family gathering.] We attempted to get a picture of all of the great-grandkids together in front of the Christmas tree. Remember, the kids range from 1 to 5 years of age. I'm sure there are all kinds of things running around those crazy little brains...and trying to get all 7 of them to stop and focus on the same thing for a matter of minutes is quite difficult. It was proven in the following:

left/back row: Paisley [3 1/2], Bryan [5], Jeremiah [5], Elijah [3 1/2]
left/front row: Leyton [1 1/2], McKensey [1 1/2], Cameron [1]

Cameron thought something was absolutely hilarious, obviously McKensey and Leyton had the same thought, and the older 4 actually remembered to smile...just not at the right person.

Cameron is still cracking up, Leyton's hands are way more interesting, Jeremiah sees something on the floor pretty funny, Bryan and Elijah are off in la-la land, and Paisley is paying perfect attention--to me, even!

Maybe my cousin Tyler was passed out on the floor in front of them...I'm not sure. [Leyton's hands are still more interesting.]

I'm positive of what happened here...my cousin Tyler was sticking his tongue out making noises trying to get everyone to smile. Leyton didn't necessarily think it was funny...he just thought it looked fun. He imitated him and of course, the others [except McKensey--she's too cool for that] thought it was funny.

This is about the best we can do.
