O Christmas Tree

We joined the entire Clan McKeachnie at the home of my in-laws for Christmas this year. With spouses and grandchildren, the Clan is numbering at 21 these days, with #22 on it's way (NOT from me!) The house was quite crowded, but we all had a great time.
What does a Christmas tree for 21 people look like, you might wonder?

I think I should have had Tayson or Brennen stand in front of the tree so you could truly understand how massive this pile of presents really was. You have to understand that the tree is no ordinary tree. It is standing in a huge, vaulted room, and had to be at least 10 feet tall. I would just stand there and gape at the sight with my jaw hanging. It was really quite difficult to comprehend that we were in the middle of a recession when there was such bounty before us. And you may have accurately guessed that the 7 McKeachnie grandchildren are indeed quite spoiled.
The sad part? These pictures were taken BEFORE Santa came to deliver his loot.
