B-I-G McAfee Christmas

Last night was the "extended" McAfee family Christmas. And when I say "big", I mean "big". I'll explain later...

Brad, Madelyn & Brady. Brady sat down in my chair, so I sat on him & took our pic.
Erin & me

Lora & Payton

Cole is my kind of guy. He was the 1st in line for food. You can do that kind of thing when you're a kid. Lucky dog...

Ok-here's where the big starts to come in. Try to stick with me - Brad has 3 uncles & 1 aunt on his dad's side. There are 14 cousins. All of those cousins are married, so that makes 28 total "grandkids". Most of those have kids (great grandkids)... & according to my math, there are 9 kids under the age of 2...there are 8 kids between the ages of 2-5... that doesn't even include the number of kids under 18. (In the spirit of full disclosure - not all of the fam members were there last night. But most of them were...) Like I said, BIG family. You'd think they're Catholic or somethin'. But nope, just 1 uncle & his family are (& they're not even the one with the most great grandkids!). The moral of the story is, the adults are being overtaken by kids. And that makes me nervous. And if you're wondering, NO - I am not willing to contribute to the overtaking of adults. I'm selfish like that...

Santa comes & gives all the kids presents.

And these kiddos don't mess around. They travel with their own camera crews.

Then the adults do a "hillbilly" gift exchange. It's like a white elephant gift thing, but you bring junk that you don't want anymore. I am comfortable with all my current junk, so Brad & I didn't participate this year. Also - because this room is packed with people. And the McAfee's are talkers (yea, yea, so am I... we know...) - so with all the hot bodies & hot air - it is stifling hot in there.

Brady was watching Madelyn while Erin was doing the gift exchange.

Then he pawned her off on me. So I let her play on the stairs...

And as I looked through my pics, I didn't even get one of me & B-rad...that's 'cuz I didn't even see him most of the night... hmph - maybe next year?!
