Christmas this year was truly wonderful as we got to spend it with the majority of our family (both sides). Christmas Eve found us at my mother's house with all of my siblings in attendance. I can't remember the last time we were all together. I absolutely loved it. Christmas morning we spent opening presents with our daughters. As you can see Sydney was thrilled to get an iPod Shuffle and Lizzie got High School Musical II to go with her portable DVD player.
Christmas afternoon was spent at Jake's brother's house where we got to eat absolutely
wonderful food and hang out with all of Jake's family, minus his brother Wil and fiancé Krissy. To finish up our Christmas get togethers my siblings and I planned a Christmas party with our father and his wife Maria.
Interspersed with all of these parties were shopping days, days when we just hung out and family dinners. To say the least it was wonderful as well as exhausting..
