This past weekend was the annual Root family Christmas get together. Kara and Brett were kind enough to have the whole gang at their house, again. There wasn't any snow for sledding this year so we had to improvise and come up with new activities. The kids made and decorated sugar cookies...... (look at Grandma Root asleep on the couch behind Baylie in this picture) Baylie working hard on getting her cookie just right!
Jace biting into his cookie.......YUM!
Lindsay and Zach adding the finishing touches to some cookies
Here Zach is holding up his cookie for all to see...... it says, 'stud muffin' he used different frosting colors to make the muffin, quite clever Zach!
There is always story time with Grandma. She always get the kids books and stuffed animals to go with their stories and sits and reads the books to the kids before giving them to them. Baylie looks a little tired but Kacie is looking on intently.
Jace and Gavin wanted Grandpa to read one of Jace's books. Jace was grandpa's little buddy this weekend and wanted to be with him all day long
There were moments of just hanging around..... Here is Anjela giving Dexen snuggle time, although I don't think he is appreciating it!
Zach, Kenna and Lindsay
Haley and Emily.........
There were 'minute to win it' games. Lindsay is trying to move the cookie from her forehead to her mouth using only her facial muscles.
Ali, trying to get all the jingle bells out of the box - shake it!!
Chris and I trying to get the red pom pom onto our noses just using the whiplash effect ~ didn't happen.
But we looked cute trying!
Grandma and Grandpa with all 14 grand kids!
We had a good time hanging out and visiting with everyone. We always have a fun time when we get together, which isn't very often! I must mention that there were family skits again too. Laura had a prize for the best skit and I just want to tell David and Anjela, WE WERE ROBBED! We are already looking forward to next years festivities!
