Boxing Day

We had my entire family home for our annual Boxing Day Dinner – which equals 37 people!  We go up to the church for dinner and it works so well for the kids as they can run and play in the gym.  We got the kids busy with a bunch of straws and styrofoam balls.

Lennard was busy in the kitchen carving the enormous turkey.

Another tradition that has been passed down is fishing for gifts.  The little kids needed some help “casting their line”.

Brendan thought he would be funny and asked if Matt was going to help him out, so he got some help!  It was a fun day!
