CHRISTMAS DAY!!!

Christmas Day with the Barlows'. With 29 people in one house, you better believe it was one BIG Christmas! Here is a picture of the tree on Christmas morning, it may not look like a lot of presents but oh it was. I think Adam's family sets the record for the longest time unwrapping presents since there are so many of us. We started at 10 AM and finished at 1 PM, now that's a lot of unwrapping. We also had to get a pic with Taylor in front of the tree since he purposefully color coordinated his outfit with his green 'skinny' jeans.

the Stockings...

The Grandkid lineup... Micah, Kenedee, Jackson, Max, Hunter, Harrison, Packer, Haven & Dallin. They were so excited to see what Santa had brought them, I think every family must have this tradition of lining up youngest to oldest.

Some favorites... Kenedee's Mickey Mouse Clubhouse book, a new tennis racket for Adam, Kenedee's new train set...

And more joke gifts from the one and only A-man! Kenedee's wasn't really a joke gift but she did give Tucker (the dog) a dog Santa hat and beard since she is obsessed with him. As for the other picture... Heidi & Greg were to give to Clark & Holly. We found a cheap frame while out shopping so we bought it to give as a joke. We thought it would be hilarious to put pictures of Heidi, Greg, and their boys and give it to Clark & Holly. So I printed off some pics from the blog, wrapped it, and watched the laughs unfold. It was hilarious! Clark & Holly started unwrapping it and of course they announced that it was from Heidi & Greg, who were looking at eachother in question. Clark & Holly unwrapped the frame and were unsure what to make of this gift from Heidi & Greg with pictures of themselves in it, oh some good laughs!!! Adam also wrapped a book that Amber & Jeff had been reading and gave it back to Amber & Jeff from Adam's parents. He also wrapped Tucker's jar of food and gave it to Kim - 'from Tucker'. And finally, he wrapped this huge eagle statue (that had the Eagle Award date for each son) and gave it to his older brother, McKay, from McKay's son Packer. Oh man, Adam's joke gifts are as good as the real gifts. What would I do without this guy! I'm sitting here busting up just thinking about his gifts. By this point though everyone knows to look at Adam when they open up something in question.

And finally... Christmas dinner. 9 of the 10 kids made it home for Christmas (We missed you Matt & Kristen - who was 8 months pregnant and unable to fly). But it was amazing the rest were able to make it. Nothing is better than being with family!!!
