We headed to the Snowden house for Christmas dinner, gifts, and some time together. It was fun (if you know our family), bantering and picking with one another over all the memories we have had in Christmases past.
-We usually have all the normal dishes for our dinner together (sweet potato casserole, rolls, green beans, salad, pear salad, deviled eggs, ham, cornish hens (or variation of this), AND dessert.............chocolate pie, and sometimes my fav lemon pie.) But one year my mom made this AWFUL "coke jello" as we like to call it. (NO I am not hurting her feelings by calling it awful, she knows) My point is we all refused to eat and she threatens to make it again every years just so we can try it.
-We usually (before we had kids) use to get out the really nice Monopoly set and play a game together, complete with my brother and Drew going head to head for properties.
-We usually have a fire (like we did again this year) and lay on the carpet sticking our feet near the hearth so they stay warm.
-We usually watch Home Alone, or some fun Christmas movie (not ELF). And laugh at the things we had forgotten about in the movies.
BUT with 2 boys now, well our usually has changed somewhat. From all of the above to playing with the Home Depot tool set and Ouuuuuing and Ahhhhing over Luke as he plays on the floor. I wouldn't change a thing.
