Fulkerson side Christmas

 Zach once again got the biggest gift so he was thrilled :)

 13 grandkids....grandpa has to lay down a few laws before opening gifts :)

 All she wanted for Christmas was a purple scarf, dress up clothes and cinderella....the girl won :)

 This thing is the coolest!!! Logan LOVES cars and he was, and still is, excited about this remote control car!

 We made grandma a tote bag with the kids' pictures on it.

 I was joking with my dad at his work place that he needed an NIU MAC Championship hat.  He wears hats to work.....and it came that day!!!

 Frosty time!!! We put the kids in the basement for a movie and enjoyed some quiet games upstairs.  It was funny to watch each kid walk up and down with several cookies in tow.  We may not have the prettiest basement but it works!!!  We have a little section for a make shift living room.  I intend to paint the walls soon! Sadly...I forgot to take pictures of each family or any games from us adults. Blake was sick that day and I was trying to figure him out.

Hawker side Christmas 2012

 When I sent the kids (minus Blake) and Chris to his parents for the weekend so I could organize and clean the house....the kids made me potholders with their handprints, so cute!!

 We made Grandma a trivet with the kids' pictures on the middle stone.

 This was the hottest item...a new vacuum!! Thanks Auntie Beth and Uncle Ryan!!

 This girl was in girly heaven :)

 Zach didn't care what he got, as long as it was the biggest boxes!!!

 Helping Grandpa get her new toy out :)

 As I was taking a picture of Beht opening a gift...the boys stepped in the way...go figure!

 Blake was beyond thrilled for diapers :)

 Taking turns pushing and pulling with Logan's new little wagon....which is for toys but it's more fun to squeeze in it and get thrown around!!  Gotta love boys!!

 Makenzie's girly toys had to be removed from the kids' room so she could have peace and quiet without 2 little tornadoes in her path!!

Christmas Reunion in Nokomis

 These 2 were inseperable!!!  Wish you were closer Lily!!!

 Time for sweets!!!

 Running around all over the place....but they had fun!!!  Chris' job was to keep track of Logan, who was eating food off the main table and trying to escape....nothing new :)

 Santa time!!! We chose to let the kids believe what they want and after this they decided Santa was real....we'll see what they think next year.  They're not really into santa but thought it was fun! Santa comes to give each child a present when they sit on his lap....I even made Bobi-Jo sit on his lap to get the bowls she ordered from me (I wrapped them and made her sing "Santa Baby"!!!!) HA!

 Dancing with Auntie Beth...next reunion they will have one to look after!!!!!

 Bowling!!  It's tradition that we bowl after.....Ryan was teaching the boys.

 Cousin Morgan heading up the kid lane.

 This is how most of his night went....getting into trouble!!!

 Rob and Theo cracked me up....Theo was the best cheerer!!!
