Christmas with the Maddens

It was really sad that Kaitlyn couldn't come out to Utah with the rest of the family because she had to stay for her dumb job. Well I thought we should include her in the post since we thought about her alot even though she couldn't be with us. This is her opening presents in Missouri before everyone left her alone. We love you Kait!
The rest of us opened presents in front of our tiny little Christmas tree. It may have been small but it was a real tree and also the first Christmas tree Patrick and I have ever had. It was really cute.
Some of the presents were even for unborn members of the family. Alyssa told Hubert to try on his new outfit and declared that it was too big.
Dinners were fun because there were 7 of us and only 6 chairs high enough for the table. The 7th person had to either sit on a regular sized chair with the table up to their armpits or stand. It was fun having everyone crammed into our little condo. The last night my parents were here we slept 8 people here. Alyssa and Edy slept over in addition to Jared, Joel, my parents, Patrick and me. There were people strewn all over the floor.
We went to see National Treasure, Book of Secrets and on the way back to the car we achieved the elusive triple piggy back ride. Joel was apparently so excited he couldn't open his eyes.
I'm so glad my family could come out for Christmas. I love them so much.

Good idea including Kaity.
I'm glad that little Hubert has made his way into your blog already.
