Christmas Eve, just the Girls!!

I love this time of the year and enjoy spending time with Family! I enjoy watching the kids excitement, family traditions, smiles, mistletoe, the TRUE Meaning of Christmas, Red, Christmas Movies, Poinsettas, Yummy Treats, Eating, laughing, Friends, The Elf that watches and reports to Santa, Service for others, Giving, Love, Family coming into town (It was fun to have Ty and Meet Mike), christmas cards in the mail, and much more. We did lots of fun things here are a few but not in any particular order:

*Dinner at Taggerts for Ty's Birthday-YUM YUM YUM If you have never been you have got to take the drive and go, it is very much worth it. I got teh Jalapeno Burger and had to take home a carrot cake for the next day.

*Fun watching home videos-Seeing Jason's Bug when he was younger, Jason's Mullet & Playing Basketball, Camping trip when they were kids on the Mopets/Raft, Some birthdays. [Seeing those video's I noticed Jason and Jarom were always together, Marci & Ty were best of buds and still are, Ty was quite a funny kid, Jarom was the quite one, Ty loved to be on video]

*Playing games and eating-Tetris on the Wii, the kids & adults fought over whose turn it was. I remember playing it on the Atari that is how old I am. I thought I would kick butt but Andrew still beat us all most of the time.

*Our Christmas Eve Dinner-At Our house, everyone brought finger food to eat (shrimp, guacamole, jalapeno Jelly, Meatballs, Smokies, Homemade Rolls/orange rolls, artichoke dip, and Chocolate Fondue with all the yummy stuff to dip. It was a lot of fun we ate, played Apples to Apples, ate more, watched Joy to the World, and had an amazing awesome discussion about the TRUE meaning of Christmas and everyones feelings about the Season.

*Christmas Morning Breakfast-At Marci's this year. I think Alex has found his niche in life, he is such a good cook and we got to all enjoy his Breakfast, he wouldn't let anyone help. I did get to bring the OJ

*Pizza and Bingo-We all made it save on that stormy night and it was so much worth it. Grandma and Grandpa got a bingo game and had wrapped prizes. We all played kids and adults and when we got bingo we got to get a prize or could steal the prizes from another person. A Omelet maker was the hot item, Ty ended up with it, and of course he had to text me a picture Friday morning since they made omlets when they got home :P (I still love ya Ty)
