Merry times

The Robbins' Christmas party was held in Providence/Logan where 90% of the family live (we are soon to increase that percentage!). One thing that the Robbins Christmas is all about: Traditions! I LOVE IT! When we spend Christmas Eve together there are even more but here is a list of the traditions we did at the party:

Chili dinner
Sibling Gift exchange
Grandparent/Parent gift game
White Elephant (it is just called that but really the million of presents (no kidding) to pick from are all good ones!)
Pinata


Ruby loved one of her white elephant gifts SOO squeezy much!

Crew got to hit something! How did Grandma and Grandpa know that was on his list? :)

Three words: COUSINS, COUSINS, COUSINS!!!!

And MORE cousins! My kids just adore their sweet cousins.

After the party Grandma had a sleepover with all the cousins (under 12) and gave them all a blanket, flashlight and a mini American Girl doll or a Transformer. They watched a Christmas movie and then she read them Christmas stories until they fell asleep........
It was so perfect. We had a wonderful time sharing these traditions with family.
