When you have 8 people(including Caleb) in your house, you have to have activities and meals planned ahead of time to prevent chaos. How did we fit 8 people in this house... we had Caleb in our room, Z and A in our guest room, Mom in Caleb's room on a mattress on the floor, and the boys in the dining room on blow up mattresses(we put the dining room table in the kitchen, which worked out quite nicely) Besides the snowy hike, we also had a tacky Christmas sweater party, dirty santa, gingerbread house making contest, family pictures, Christmas Eve service, game night and of course, presents and Santa on Christmas Day. We stayed busy but really enjoyed the time we got to spend with everyone. With Zach and I both married, its every other year that we get to have everyone together, which makes it that much more special, until next time...

Scott won the singing Christmas tie,
