The rest of Christmas

So in winding up the Christmas pictures this will be a long post. I'll try to keep it down to mostly pictures - and I won't post all the opening presents ones....that would take years with nine kids! Enjoy!

No way was I getting into the hot tub with that many kids....I'm not crazy.

We found a place in Orlando to play some games and ride rides before heading back to the rent house after ICE!


Out of all the big kids (and Chris!) Zachary was the only one who pitched his baseball into the hole to win a prize. Boy, did that have the big boys talking.


We came back from an outing one day to find this.....



The kids had a great time playing in the bubbles and the bonus was that nobody needed a bath - just a quick rinse in the shower! We never found out who the culprit was but did find the empty bottle of bubble bath.

Zachary and the girls watching T.V. before bed.

At the beach:
Zachary loves to get dirty! His cousin helped to bury him sitting in a hole.

The water was freezing but there was no way we were going to keep the kids out. The little ones only went in to about their knees. They had fun mostly running from the waves.


Our oldest nephew volunteered to be buried in the sand. Then all the other kids got to jump on top of him and he couldn't feel a thing.

Looking for shells.

Our sweet baby niece. Zachary wasn't very nice to her. In fact, Zachary was a bit of a meanie to all the cousins, even the big ones.

We can't wait to see everyone again!
