Christmas Round 3
Dec 26th, 2008 by wuzza
We celebrate Christmas in rounds. You know what I am talking about? We “do” Christmas over and over again with different cirlces of family and friends. Christmas Eve was round 1 with our surrogate extended family. You remember them. Our euchre playing telepathic neighbors with their Rockband fantic kids. (Man, can that woman cook, by the way, but that’s a post for another day.) Round 2 was Christmas morning with our immediate nuclear family. Round 3 was Christmas Day evening with Grandma. Grandmas in general can make Santa look a tad stingy, and this one is no exception. Actually, to her credit and with much begging on my part, she has reined it in in the last several years. Seriously, stuff for seven kids can really accumulate.
Here is a photo of my mom with my 5 year-old Christmas caroling rocker on her shoulders.
Here is another of the happy chaos.
I love this picture. She looks so sassy, no, saucy, yeah, saucy.
Another saucy picture. Remember, age is only a number. That’s what I keep telling myself…every 39th birthday.
Even the pets get in on it….like the kids give ‘em a choice.
One more of my mom and me. She’s also a book fanatic… I mean FANATIC.
Thanks to my sweet hubby for taking all these. He’s never in the photos because he’s always the camera man.
Merry Christmas again everyone! Now I am going to sleep till New Year’s. The kids can live on peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches while I nap. I’ll throw in a bag of apples just to add more food groups.
