Catch Up....

We had a great Christmas this year. The kids were so excited this year and seemed to love everything we did old tradition or a new one.. It was fun to have Mitch and Chelsey with us on Christmas Morning and start some new traditions... We were a little sad this year with change on Christmas Eve with Pinkie having her Stroke we didn't do our traditional eve party, we had one the week before at Steve and Lisa's and just had Santa come and Pinkie gave her gifts, we all enjoyed seeing each other and spending some time with Pinkie, life stops during these special visits, we just don't know how much longer will be blessed with her here on this earth... So by the time Christmas Eve came around there was a emptiness not going to our traditional Pinkie Party.... Clyde's decided we needed to do something so we were all busy and not feeling SAD... especially for my younger kids M&M haven't had that tradition as long as some of the older siblings and cousins... We went to Sizzler and had a nice lunch with all the family, it was so fun to visit and just have it be relaxing. After we went to the movie blindside and LOVED it and then we all split told each other MERRY CHRISTMAS and came home to just be a FAMILY.. I did love this and we did the tradition of opening up the pajama's and just hanging out. Christmas we just also hang out here and enjoyed each other, playing all the new WII stuff and eating... Later in the afternoon we went over to Dad and Moms and had a dinner with some of the family and opened gifts from Grandpa and Nana. We are always GRATEFUL for all they do for us and the kids. We Love ya!!
