They take their drinks and all cram in there and have a little man party while standing shoulder to shoulder among the craft supplies and laundry, snitching pieces of crispy skin and dark meat.

I love that feeling of getting things boxed and ready to go!!!...then I plop it all on the front seat of my van :) Good work!!
