Just before everyone was due to arrive we planned take a couple pics of the two kids together, but ran out of time. We managed to take two pics, and this was the better of the two.
The afternoon started out with some grazing and snacking. All sorts of yummy food, while Andrew got the prime rib started (MMmmmMMm nom nom nom!!)
After we were more-or-less sated, we got down to presents. We started in order, youngest to oldest.
Parker was mostly fascinated with the paper, which was headed immediately to his mouth if possible. And that's to be expected of a six month old.

Maia was ready to help others open their presents, although sometimes she did need a bit of help herself getting unwrapping started or boxes opened.
One of the early "hits" of the day was an apron, chef's hat and oven glove set for Maia. She was delighted, and wore it around for quite a while.
Parker got some new teethers and books and clothes.
We failed to get a picture of the entire family together, but we got 4 of the 5 kids together. Parker was napping at the time.
Another big fave of the day was Maia's new doll. And she loves playing mommy.
At the end of opening presents, the kids burnt off some energy while we prepared dinner. Adrian read books, Lydia and Maia played dress up.
They all played with Parker. And Parker smiled.
