I know many of you have asked how on earth we have Holidays with 26+ people in one house! Here is a run-down on this year's Helweg Cmas, with the entire family! (out of 11 siblings, we have 2 married siblings, 1 engaged, 1 dating, and 5 grandchildren! (Plus one more on the way!) WOW! That is a lot of us!
First of all, you need FOOD! We cook massive amounts of all kind of yummy stuff!
Then come the hordes! Usually us moms & kids go first, then "big people", then the younger siblings.. otherwise we'd run out of food the way they eat! lol
The "little kids" table.. easier not to spill there
The "older kids" dining room.. yes we can't all fit into one room!
After a great dinner, we all SQUEEZE into the living room to open presents
The other half of the room.. little kids on the floor
Then chaos ensues as the presents are unwrapped! But what great memories! That ends my "Helweg Holiday" documentary, now on to fun pics.. :)
