Yesterday, we celebrated Seibert Christmas.
All the grandkids had matching Christmas dresses and shirts. This is the best shot we got of all 7 kids.
June was really hungry, but supper wasn't ready, so she chewed on her shoes.
Grandma read the girls some books.
At supper time, the 4 oldest kids got to eat at a special kids table. Uncle Jim and Aunt Elizabeth bore the brunt of cafeteria duty and everyone else was very grateful to eat a meal in peace.
With much prodding, the kids ate enough of their meals to earn a very special treat- "Scarlett" sugar cookies.
I picked out a mitten!
Annalise ate a tree!
Oliver loved his wreath.
With 7 grandkids, it's increasingly easy to lose track of one kid. This happened last night. While everyone was cleaning up a half eaten cookie inadvertently was placed on a chair so the table could be wiped off. No one was paying attention to June until mama looked down and saw that she had found the cookie and shaoved it in her mouth as fast as she could.
Needless to say, she was pretty proud of herself.
After we got June cleaned up, we tried to enforce the house rule: "You make a mess, you clean it up." But June's big belly full of cookies made it hard for her to work the vacuum.
