We spent time with family. We ate italian sausages. We played a part in some couple's engagement story in front of the National Christmas tree. We opened our new pajamas. And I cried while trying to read our traditional Christmas books.
Or any other body part for that matter. Now it was another story for Alex and Josiah.....
So, we've been slackers. We haven't carved pumpkins since, oh, 2004. But that's ok. We did today, well, Steve and the kids did. And they are spectacular.
Everyone is home now and life is back to normal. We took an impromptu visit to a local park for some hiking and fishing. Then followed it up with dinner at one of our favorite Mexican restaurants.
At our latest family cookout my mother informed us that our great grandmother was not only from Hungary (which we knew) but Jewish. Not that I mind. I just find it interesting. That's all.
I've ventured out to Target and Costco, baked another turkey, won Apples to Apples, was a sore loser at Taboo, made a big vat of homemade guacamole, laughed a whole lot, and generally have had a lot of fun with everyone that is at my house. Yup, it's been a good holiday.
