We always end the evening with taking group pictures! I guess we really like to see how BIG our family really is!
Nana & Paw Paw + 14 Grandkids!
Siblings + Souses
My BFF
Sisters and Sister in Laws
Mom and her daughters (& in laws)
The Girls
The In Laws!
Jeff & Miranda have been in our family forever!
Miranda and her Littles!
There are a total of 14 grandchildren on the Riley side! To say Christmas is crazy is an understatement. We typically have it at Mom & Dad’s because they have the most space to accommodate all of the kids. My parents have a huge playroom in the back and yard! It is great to go over there and not have to worry about the kids. The older kids watch the little kids so the parents get to relax!
Alyssa
Aunt Laurie & Peyton
Miranda & Coby
Sonya, me, Laurie & Peyton
Sonya & Mandilynn
Tony & Michael (best buds)
I made a buffalo chicken dip that they thought was AMAZING!
Logan, Andrew & Coby
Sweet Mama kisses!
Sophia
Tony & Sonya
One of our little photographers! Maddie is so sweet and goofy. Her and Jaycie did an amazing job of capturing every moment on this crazy day!
The glasses! I am not even sure where these came from, but they seemed to pop up everywhere and several joined in the fun!
Jaycie
Coby
Trace
Brothers playing in the wagon. I like how they take turns pulling each other!
Basketball is always a must at my parents house. Everyone joins in the fun!
To say Christmas at my parents house is out of control is an understatement. My parents give WAY too much to our kids each year, but we are grateful to have them! I remember as a kid our Christmas's were always huge so why would I think they would be any different with our kids! It’s fun to get together with my parents, 4 siblings, 5 spouses and 14 grandchildren! I can hardly believe that my younger sister is still in line to have kids! That just means our family will continue to grow!
Now on to the goods!
(I will note that Peyton decided to sleep through the entire gift process)
Trenton waiting eagerly to open his gifts
We have to do the gifts in shifts.

Trace is excited to open his first present!
Tony & Michael waiting anxiously
