The Hostess with the Mostest--that's Betsy! She knocked herself out getting ready for a houseful of company. After the holidays, this girl deserves a rest. She worked so hard making sure everything was nice for everybody! We had a great time. Thank you, Betsy!
And thank you to Anthony for letting his home be overrun with in-laws! There were a lot more people there than show in these pictures, but I'm trying not to use pictures that have the young children in them--that really limits! If you want to see more pictures, look in the blogs of Ben, Betsy and Kate. The only pictures I got of Josh had children in them.
As much as I would love to show off my grandchildren on this blog, I will resist the urge. Just let me say that I really do have the cutest grandkids on earth! It was just great being with so many of them this week and getting lots of hugs.
Karen made this cute gingerbread house for the kids to eat after Christmas dinner. It was just one of the many desserts...we had 11 pies, 2 cheesecakes, and a pistachio dessert besides. And that was to top off a huge Christmas dinner of turkey, ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, candied sweet potato casserole, 'Green Stuff', 'Pink Stuff', rolls, veggies and dip, two kinds of stuffing, and all kinds of relishes.
The kids had lots of fun swinging a big stick while blindfolded--just hoping that they'd be the one to cause this pinata to burst and release the candy!
These pictures commemorate the "Official Grand Opening" of Betsy's new Clue game. The little tokens look like the people they are supposed to represent in this new version. Really neat!
Here's what happens when our family gets together...
