Tonight Jared and I hosted the annual Brooker family Christmas. We had 28 adults and 13 children and were missing 6...My how this family has grown! My cousin Susan and her husband Danny joined us and brought their brand new baby girl Emma along with them...they were blessed with her through adoption..she was born the same day as sweet baby Harper! We served up some yummy soup, sandwiches, salad, and sweets. As is tradition we read the Christmas story from Luke 2. Our attempt at getting a group picture of the children was priceless. As you can tell in the photo, the babies were NOT happy! Check out Kolton, Margaret Nell, Claire, and Marlee...Now look at Ben...He only wants a "Silent Night!" Too funny! We played some fun Christmas carol games and then opened presents. Mary Kate got a Dora beauty kit and book. Brooker got a cool toy for capturing bugs and other critters...he later told Heidi that it was "Junk!" Oh my! We got a good laugh out of that comment as he was only referring to the fact that the claw part did not close perfectly...guess we should work on word choice :) After the kids opened their loot, all the big girls shared little Christmas gifts with one another. The final gift was from all of the Brooker sisters and sister in laws...it's a surprise girl's night out planned for January...Can't wait to see what they have up their sleeves!
