All the kids in their Xmas eve PJ's, too bad they all won't smile and look at the camera. Guess not bad four out of five seems to be the number lately. LOL
All five at dinner thought it was a cute shot. Love our babies.
Boys fighting over who is gonna open PJ's AEDEN won. LOLWell, this year has come and gone. Holly COW!!!!!!!!! Well a little update I have been super busy at my job developing pictures off the Internet and needless to say Xmas is the busiest season of all. Everyone is ordering their Xmas cards. When returning to work I received a promotion without the raise or the title. More or less just the nice thing to do and help where I am needed. So I was overseeing the greeting card packagers. And needless to say Thank goodness for awesome temps. They all did an amazing job at helping us get the cards out as fast as we could. We still were two days behind even some days three, But your hands and brain can only move or function as fast as we let them. We all were working seven days a week and 9 to 10 hr days. I unfortunately had a few days off in there but due to my teeth, and unfortunately with the holiday season the dentist is unable to finish the work until January. But life will continue asap.
We, had our annual Thompson/Banks family Xmas party and we had Santa's elf this year to pass out gifts and their annual ornaments. We left early due to the amount of pain I was in and had to take my drugs and they make me loopiand tired. LOL, but thanks Mom and Skip for the precious Memories that I know our kids love and look forward too.
Then we went to the Harris Family Xmas Party. In laws made dinner for everyone, YUMMY and then shared wonderful memories from when their boys were younger, Real tear jerker. Yea I know I am a softy. Then had our white elephant gift exchange. Sorry frank the purse was meant for the girls. But it defiantly is your color. HAHAHAHA. And we handed out our hand made gifts to everyone. This year they all got a calender of the new family pics. I wish I had made it earlier much easier than I thought it would be.
Then Xmas eve we had my parents, Devin parents, and my dad and his friend over for dinner and presents. Was a night we all enjoyed and hope to do again next year always better the more people you have over.
Xmas day was a 7:30 am start and by 10 am Mom was ready for a nap. Was a lot better than I expected four out of five kids were happy and satisfied. Was small but think that we did OK. They only get 3 gifts this year but we had a secret Santa drop off gifts for the whole family. Wow lets just say I was in such aw that someone first could afford to give gifts for a family of 7 on top of their family and lets just say they weren't cheap. Kids LOVED all of them. Well we all did and were so grateful that people were thinking of our family. One year I would love to repay the favor and help when needed. One year our time will come.
Well hope that everyone had a Wonderful Holiday Season and Safe and Happy New Year.
