Hook Me Up! (Nuttall Family Christmas dinner)

Even though it took a few days to get it together (due to illness at our house) we were determined to have a Nuttall Christmas dinner!  Saturday evening, everyone (minus Aunty Nichole and the new babes... whom were missed very much) came to our house for some yummy Mexican food and a good time!  After dinner the (big) Nuttall brothers had some fun with the kids, playing what my boys like to call "Hook me up"  along with some other random activities!  My favorite comment of the evening was when Chad said, "I don't do this at home!"  It struck me as particularly funny because activities like this are an almost daily occurance at our house... since we have mostly boys!  However Chad has mostly girls... so I guess it just wouldn't be something that he does regularly... but I think he was really enjoying it! I know the kids all loved it!  Once things calmed down, we played what is known to the Nuttall family as the M&M game.  A game that they all played growing up, every Christmas at their Grandma Burk's house in Prescott.  It was lots of fun!  We wrapped up the evening with Gma Bev opening her big gift from all the kids!  She was super excited about the keyboard she has been wanting for a few years now.  As always, it was lots of fun getting together with everyone for a little bit of Christmas fun!

So, Chad's comment about "never doing this at home" was a litte puzzling to me because he is actually always wrestling/swinging around the girls?!? Weird. What he meant was that he wasn't familiar with "hook me up" in particular...We don't have fancy names for our shinanagins, but now we do! Anyhoo, just wanted to clarify that we do oindeed get plenty of rough-housing time in over at our casa de chicas!
