When you look at your life, the greatest happinesses are family happinesses.
Christmas and Christmas Eve are always busy days. Christmas was busier yet when the kids were little. I remember celebrating with my folks on Christmas Eve and then staying up late putting toys together and wrapping presents. Then, it was getting up early because I had dinner 
to start. I loved to have everyone over to our place even though it was a lot more work. By afternoon I had been ready to drop and most times I tried to sneak I a little nap. It’s amazing how much a quick nap can rejuvenate you enough.

This Christmas was a very busy day too. The part that was different is that everyone else did the work. It was a wonderful day. We had tons of food to eat and eat we did. From good for you snacks to sweets to fruit and vegetables to the most delicious ham ever. We ate it all.
Check out the Christmas penguins and edible Christmas veggie tree Sabrina made.

We had tons of presents. It was a tree that was magic. It seemed once the tree emptied of gifts more gifts magically appeared. After gifts and food came games. Part of the group played Munchkin and part of the group played Spades. Part of the group also took a quick nap and then played a few more games. Part of the group also played WOW.

We had an amazing time. Before we knew it, Christmas was over and on Monday it was time to head back to where we had left the motorhome ---- in "Q" approximately 1,246 miles away.
‘Tis life on the road.
Which group were you two in?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the veggie tree. What a neat idea. I think the penguins are carrots for feet and olives for the body but is that cream cheese in the middle? HOW CUTE! How long did that take? WOW!!!
Safe travels to the "Q"!
Those penguins and the tree are really clever. And there definitely were lots of presents under that magic tree. Glad you had such a great time with the family.
ReplyDeleteWe had a blue haired daughter for a while. Now they are grown they look back and laugh. Two have even removed their tattoos.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had lots of fun. It sure is exhausting isn't it.
I guess Sandi had a "Blue, Blue Christmas..."
ReplyDeleteIsn't there some kind of law against eating penguins, even at Christmas?
They were pretty cute, actually. ;c)
Hope you've escaped, we're here tonight (Tues) in quite a blowing rainstorm, had to pull in the slides but we're still rockin' and a rollin'. In years gone by, many times I headed out to sea in storms like this on rescues. Yes, I still miss all that.
Wow! The time Sabrina must have spent making beautiful food only to have you guys gobble it down. But, it makes sense to me because I am always tempted by those edible fruit bouquets. Nothing wrong with good looking food.
