Our Family Christmas Album
I know there are serveral pictures on this post, but I took over a hundread pictures the last couple of days, and these were some of our favorites. I just love Christmas. It is a lot of work, and I did come close to a few meltdowns there close to the end. But when it's all said and done, it's all worth it! Our first stop on Christmas Eve was to Scott's dad and Gwens house. We didn't have a long stay, but it was full of yummy snacks( Gwens aleays got something tasty for us to eat)and opening presents. We were off to my Mom and Dads house for a deliousious Christmas Eve Dinner. I could smell the scumptious aroma from the driveway, after the kids ran in the front door. Jackson loved the train around the tree that he de-railed several times in the course of the evening(sorry dad). And the girls loved scouting out their presents with their cousins, Spencer and Miriam. My parents house looks like The North Pole at Chrismas time. The presents overflow into several rooms, and my moms wrapping is always so beautiful and almost as great as the gifts they hide inside. We had a wonderful evening together. Christmas morning was "the best ever" as quoted by Emma. Thats always good news to tired parents. We spent the afternoon visiting at my Grandma Slaughters house, with Aunts, uncles and cousins. We don't see each other very often anymore, and really enjoyed their company. We were off for our second stop at my dads parents house for a short but sweet visit. I love my grandparents, and the flood of memories that come from being in their familiar home. Our last stop of the day was at Scott's brother Brad and Judy's house. It took us a half hour to get from the circle they live in to the driveway, thanks to the few feet of snow that fell that day. It's always a party with the Wardle's! We had a great time and more delicous food. Waffles with a variety of toppings,(Thanks Brad for alowing Jack to help you make stacks of them) Christmas ham, funeral potatoes, pasta salad, it was awesome. We had a wonderful evening together laughing, eating, and opening gifts. The snow storm had begun again so we traveled one mile back to my parents house and spent the night with them. Thank you to all our family. We love you and cherish you all. We had a magical, memorable Christmas with you.
