Christmas with the Family

Our Christmas is different then most. We get togther at a golf course and have a nice meal and get to spend quality time catching up on old times and current events in each other lives. Then we move from there to my brothers house and exchange gifts. My brother and his wife just moved into their new place right before Christmas. It worked out great because his new place is large enough that we can all fit. Our family keeps growing I thing we are well past 30 people and there is no end in sight.

Christmas Eve day

This is Chirstmas Eve day which is always kinda of rushed. We get up open gifts from the kids, and they open what we got them and then we take off for my husband side of the family which live 200 miles away. Then we spent the rest of the holiday with them. By the time we are all done it feels like weve had Christmas 4 times. The good think about that is that with it being spread out alittle its not over so fast.

Time goes fast

Cant believe we are already into December. Each day seems like it is going faster. I always get this panic feeling about now. Because Ive hardly got any shopping done. Ive been making sure that my mom gets her's done first. She has alot more to do then I do. Each wednesday between Thanksgiving & Christmas weve been going to different cities to get the stores that we dont have in our city. Thank goodness for gift cards. Its been fun spending the day with her knowing that it will reduce her stress. She also gets stressed about the winter driving
