CHRISTMAS
Tonight is my extended family Christmas Party at my parents house.
I'm sad to be missing it right now. So I thought I would share what I'm missing out on:
- Everyone catching up and sharing stories of the last year
- Eating lamb/ham/ or whatever kind of meat
- Eating until your stomach is completely full and then eating more
- Sitting at the "kids" table wishing one day I could eat at the adult table
- Realizing the kids table is WAY cooler than the adult table
- Watching all the great grand kids bang their plates or knives on the table just excited to open presents
- Watching my mom and grandma clean up after everyone as they always do (yes I said Watching)
- Getting the kids ready for the big nativity scene
- Listening to Grandpa read the story out of the bible
- Taking pictures of all the adorable kids in their costumes. (or of myself being the ass, and Max being the reindeer....)
- Singing songs around the tree, feeling the love our the whole family and remembering the true reason for the season
- Opening Presents!!!!
- Saying good bye to the family once again
After the party was all said and done we would go home and open our Christmas pj's from our parents. Oh the matching pj's :) Then gather around to watch the Griswald Christmas Vacation or the Christmas Story.
Thanks family for helping me feel the chirstmas spirit every year!
Now this year I have my own little family to take care of.
Let's hope I can make it as fun for them as my mom and Grandma did for me!
