Christmas with Great Grandma Ivy

We celebrated Christmas with Grandma Ivy the Sunday after Christmas at the Travel Lodge Hotel in Moorhead. We’ve done this for a few years now and it works out great. There’s too many of us so we are unable to fit at Grandma’s house comfortably or anyone’s house! The kids, once again, had a blast. They were loud and rowdy but that’s nothing new. You get that many little kids together and they are bound to be wild! And it didn’t help that uncle Justin egged them on! Both Jacob and MaKena got lots of nice gifts from everyone. It’s crazy how fast the holidays came and went this year. I think the older I get the faster it goes!!








All the kids sitting up front waiting to open their gifts. Each year the little kids draw names and exchange gifts with each other. They love it!

Justin and Laura with all the little kids. Justin got the kids wound up right before everyone was getting ready to leave. We threatened to send all the kids home with him!
More goofy pictures! Notice most of the kids are eating pizza. Grandma ordered pizza for supper that night and she didn’t want to take any of it home so she put some on plates for us to take home. The rest of the pizza the kids ate while goofing around with Justin.
Justin really had them going! He would say 1, 2, 3 Pizza and the kids would say it with him. Doesn't Laura look impressed!! (From L to R: McKayla, Karlee, Karisa, MaKena, Emma, Jacob, Mallorie, Justin and Laura)
