Family Time at Christmas

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.

Yes, Sandi has blue hair!!  Believe me it is not in our genes.

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.
