7 Cousins on Christmas Eve! (:

For Christmas Eve, we headed up to my brother Danny's place. He was supposed to have a bunch of people over for dinner and caroling. Let me just say, I think it was a trick! Our family, and Janel's brother Bryan were the only ones. Though I won't lie, it was a lot fun, and way less hectic this way! (; The girls had so much fun seeing the boys, and really, since we moved to Laveen last year, we don't see as much of my brother's family as I would like. Hopefully we'll be better about that. (;
We did eat a lot of food, and cherry roles, and even caroled as planned! Not that it was any good, but fun none the less. (; Then it was time to throw the kids. I mean, they have these two huge bean bags that are just too perfect for tossing, that it is practically impossible not to wrestle on, smooth between, or throw them feet up in the air to land on these things. And they beg you over and over too! Well, Danny and Bryan sure got a work out since I was only throwing once or twice, and Eddy seemed perfectly content just watching and holding poor Rylee safe from the collision grounds! (;
We got pictures of all seven cousins together, and even tried to get some of the "twins' in the air. Well, Bryan had massive fail. See, Cameryn is a good few inches shorter than Andy, and probably six or seven pounds lighter. He had been throwing Andy and the bigger kids up until this point, and when he went to throw Camy, all you hear is,"Oh no" before a big smack! She landed on the end of the bean bag, but rolled right off into the recliner that was behind it. She only let him throw her one more time after this. Then she only went to the "safe" choice, Uncle Danny. Though if we're frank, he is nothing close to safe! LOL. My mom of course blames my uncles for this behavior. They used to throw us kids across whole living rooms backwards, sideways, and all sorts of angles, with NO safety bags! LOL. I guess we have a side for danger, and our kids have inherited as well. I will tell you, Camy was just fine and happy to "fly" in less than three minutes time. They're tougher than we give them credit for.. and really. Who thinks a bump on the head is worth stopping the fun when you're two? 
We had a fun evening with them! I love how much the kids all adore each other, and am so glad that we do as much as we do with them.<3
