Christmas Fun

I love Christmas traditions! We had such a great time this holiday season. Every year for Christmas Eve we get together and sing carols, eat yummy food and watch the kids get too excited to sleep. I have been very fortunate the last few years that we've gotten together at my house with Chris' family.
Christmas morning we get to open presents with the kids, clean up (ourselves and our trash) and head out to Grandma GG's for some yummy omelet breakfast. This year Uncle Mike did the cooking, he did a such a good job he might get dubbed the omelet chef every year! The family just keeps growing and growing and it's become too much for GG to take on herself.
Christmas Evening we get together with my mom and brother for some fabulous dinner and celebrating. This year my mom hurt her back so we missed her in the events, but my brother came out with his family. Patch got a train table that he would not allow ANYONE to touch, but when his cousin Jackie arrived all he wanted was for her to play trains with him. It's so funny he was only willing to share with her.
Even now with this late post I am sad to see Christmas go. I love how everyone is willing to be a little more giving and kind. I hope that doesn't' all get washed away in the daily grime of things. Merry Christmas...all year long!
