A Full House

Christmas at Mr. Fixit's family grew by 5 more babies this year, 1 more in-law and several girlfriends.  I did not count the crowd, but I would be willing to guess that we had close to 70 people in Mother's house before the festivities were all said and done.  Your next question likely is, did you all fit?  Yes, we sure did, creatively, but we did fit!

Mr. Fixit's Mom has picnic tables, card tables and chairs that remain set up in the basement.  The tables are covered with cloths, and ready for family gatherings.  The pool table is used as the food serving table.  Scads of plates, silverware and napkins are stacked nearby.  Two-liter bottles of pop and an ice chest filled with ice, sit atop the freezer - high enough to keep little kiddos out and the perfect height for pouring.  Don't forget to write your name on your cup!

I snapped a picture from my corner of the basement floor, while present opening was occurring.  I was trying to give a sense of how many folks were gathered to celebrate.  Hope you can get that sense from this shot!
