Christmas, it goes too fast! Even this year, with an extra week, it flew
by. So instead of giving into my Christmas
withdrawal, I wanted to hang on for a little longer and share our
Christmas memories with you.
After a nice little airport
delay, we landed in Virginia at 10:00 pm, found the only restaurant still open and
settled in for our annual Christmas Eve dinner - fried eggrolls, house lo mein,
and all the other classic Chinese favorites.
By the time we got back to Mom and Dad’s it was Christmas! Chris and Meghan were supposed to come over
after lunch on Christmas Day, but ended up sneaking up on us and surprising us
right after midnight. They certainly
know how to make this family happy!
The rest of our time was spent on
the usual Christmas festivities – eating too much, drinking too much, and playing
more games than you can imagine (or, if you have hung out with my family, then
it was just another normal Saturday night but with a few more cookies)!
And now we are off to visit Chris and Meghan for his birthday and New Year’s. Can’t wait to celebrate 2013 and all the wonderfulness that it will bring…HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Here is a peek into our Christmas
Eve and Christmas Day…
 |
| A Christmas Story Christmas Eve. |
 |
| Egg rolls, lo mein, and orange beef...oh my. |
 |
| Surprise! |
 |
| Christmas cheers! Les, these glasses look familiar?! |
 |
| The stockings were hung by the chimney with care... |
 |
| O' Christmas tree |
 |
| Looking a little sleepy. |
 |
| All together now. |
 |
| Mom made us aprons! Ready to bake... |
 |
| Mimosa time. |
 |
| The girls. |
 |
| Ate a few too many of these. |
 |
| Wouldn't be a family gathering without a little competition. |
 |
| Staying warm! |
