This year we went not one, not two, but SIX family Christmas parties.
Whew! It was a whirlwind and we
were exhausted by the time all was said and done, but boy did we have fun! I wish I would have taken more pictures, but
I was too busy enjoying myself. I want
to be a part of the memories, not just take a picture of them. Add that to the fact that my munchkins were
spun-up, sugar-crazed maniacs that literally never stop moving, and well, I
guess you can see why pictures were few and far between. Nevertheless, I did manage to capture some of the fun that we had. It was so nice to catch up with family that we
hadn’t seen as much as we would have liked this year and Evelyn and Mitchell had
a ball playing with all of their cousins.
I wish we could focus more on this togetherness than gift giving all the
time. It is so hard not to fall into the
materialistic aspects of Christmas, but we really do try. We want to teach our kids that presents are
not the most important things. Family
and love are.
