Christmas Day (3rd of 4 Christmases)

Christmas Day- We braved the icy roads and traveled down I-5 to spend the day with Grandpa & Grandma Rader. Cousin Becky and her family host along with Great Aunt Judy & Great Uncle Joe. It's a BIG celebration, as Becky & Corey have NINE children. No, that's not a typo. Nine of the cutest, most well-behaved, sweetest children!

Our normally 2 hour drive took 3 hours due to the snow, ice, and traffic but fortunately the delay gave Carson the opportunity to nap in the car. That made trip much more bearable for all involved!

The whole crew!

Thanks Grandpa & Grandma Rader! The fam!
Books are the best!

Carson adored Elizabeth and her pink video game.

The highchair line up for Christmas supper

Proud grandparents!

In lieu of gifts, the kids decorated gingerbread houses! Many thanks to Corey for making the houses and thanks to Becky for making 12 bags of frosting!

More candy in mouth than in house

Becky, the mom with the most and the hostess with the mostess! Somehow she still found time to make these beautiful pies. I can't figure how out how she does it!
