Christmas - Round 1

Last weekend, we hosted the Hubert family Christmas in Mac between our home and my parents' home. Everyone was able to make it and we all had a great time. Here's the whole gang (all 24 of us!).
We had two new family members this year: Asher (8 months) and Naia (4 months)...they both got lots of spoiling. Friday night we just lounged around in the basement. We were trying to get Carter to dance for the crowd and Aunt Deb got up to demonstrate. Carter encouraged her with some cash.She may have turned a little red :).Carter givin' Asher some love (aka squeezing him as tight as he can).Snuggling with Aunt Lou and Unc. And hamming it up with Great Grandpa.Don't worry, Asher got in on the dancin' and lovin' as well.The boys ended the evening with some heated games of ping pong.

Saturday we spent the day shopping, cooking, chatting and eating a huge meal for dinner. Unc smoked some awesome pork and turkey and everyone else pitched in with some wonderful dishes. There was no shortage of delicious food!Then we took a few pictures since it's rare that we're ALL together. These two goofballs jumped in first.Next up: Great Grandma and Great Grandpa.Is it time to open presents YET??The little ones went first and Carter was pumped for Hungry Hungry Hippos!

Then the older group had a gift exchange with the theme of "Things you can use in the kitchen."Carter named himself the designated present deliverer. And Asher kept guard over Ashley's sandwich maker.Nate surprised Grandma by making her a new stand for her old parking meter.Grandma made cute little reindeer sacks to hold everyone's gifts.Foster was thrilled with his cash...

...and Carter was more thrilled with the candy!The little guys rounded out the evening with some Hungry Hungry Hippos action......while the big kids had some horse racing competitions.

Although we only gather once a year, it's always so much fun to be with the whole family. Thanks for making the trip (KC & Arkansas clan)...we love you all!
