Christmas #2- Chaos is the name of the game!

B-rad's extended family always tries to get together every year. And it's a b-i-g family. B-rad's dad has 3 brothers & 1 sister. Then they all had like 90 kids each. Now those 90 kids are having their OWN 90 kids... It's quite the scene!


Derik was there & he wore the shirt we got him for Christmas! He really likes it & that makes me happy! This is B-rad's cousins, Leslie's, little boy, Noah. (Say that 10 times fast!) He kept going, "woo, woo!"
B-rad, Cole & Sam! What a cute pic!
Hmmmmm....wonder why the kids love B-rad so much?!
This is little Friyana. She is the newest member of the McAfee clan (She's 8 weeks old, I think?!). She is B-rad's cousin Chad's little girl! She didn't hardly make a peep all night! But then again - it's hard to get a word in edgewise when all the McAfee's get together!
Friyana & her mommy, Fargol. They live in California so it's always a nice treat when we can visit with them. I'm sure you didn't notice that Fargol is freakin' gorgeous. Uh, yea - it's easy to miss. But she's SO incredibly sweet! That makes it harder to hate her for being so pretty! (of course, I'm kidding! Fargol is great!)
I helped Jake to an appetizer of chips & dip. Uhm Jake - next time wipe off the evidence so we don't get busted! Noah found the dog again!
Santa comes to visit the kids every year. The grandparents bring gifts for their grandkids for Santa to give them. Daniel was really excited about Jake's Elmo book.
Jake was very loving to his new cousin, Friyana. Next up is gift time for the 'big' kids! Each year we do a white elephant thingie...but with a twist. We bring a hillbilly gift which is basically some crap at your house you don't want. Then we draw numbers, pick our gift & then exchange with someone if we want.
Brady got to double dip this year because there were a couple of extra hillbilly gifts. He got this t-shirt! Love it! It says, "Tell your woman to stop texting me"
There are always some really creative, tacky gifts! Daniel got a Flamingo to put on the grill of your car like you hit it.
And then there are always gifts that seem to rear their ugly heads every year. This year Leslie got the honor of getting the tribal mask.
Sam said, "I'll take that!"

B-rad got a cutsie little Snowman that held a picture frame. Ahhhh, he could totally put that on his desk with a picture of meeee...
But nooooooo - he traded it for Brady's t-shirt!
The ones who are responsible for this mess! Front row: B-rad's uncle Greg, Grandpa Mac & Grandma Mac. Back row: B-rad's dad, Stanley. Uncle Bobby, Aunt Bev & Uncle Barry. During the hillbilly exchange B-rad lost that t-shirt to none other than his brother! Brian gave it back to Brady. Before we left, I saw B-rad wearing it. I said, "Did you steal that from Brady?!" He said, "No. He gave it to me. It was too big for him!"
That shirt will go great with one he already has. Picture it: A groom frowning & a bride smiling. Underneath it says, "GAME OVER" Oh yea - I picked that one out...
