The kids all arrive at the house about 8am to the smell of baking cinnamon rolls. Once everyone is here we start opening the gifts. With eleven people it takes quite awhile as we open items one at a time so everyone can see what the other person received. We each take a turn and usually Jennifer passes out the gifts but, since the boys were here this year, we let them do it. About 1pm we head to Watertown to my Mom's house where all the sisters and our brother gather along with tons of nieces, nephews and cousins. Mom always prepares a complete Christmas dinner after which we open more gifts. We usually head for home around 6pm tired, but happy after a long day. This year Jennifer put the boys gift in a Barbie game box as a gag. They were very pleased when they open it to find a years subscription to "Game Fly" and not a Barbie Video Game.
