Christmas

I'm sure many of you out there are possibly recovering from the wonderful, yet very hectic Christmas day. Now, I'm thankful that I've had three days to recover before our Marathon picks back up. Families are a blessing but it can get a bit much. I sat down and totaled up the amount of Christmas's Michael myself and the kids have and still have to go. 8 total this year and we cut out 2 or 3 don't remember.
Brief run down:

Dec 23. 9 a.m. Teresa and John Blackaby's house (My mom)
Wonderful had breakfast. Let Lydia take short nap and was overall calm. My sister Andrea, Stepbrother Joshua and stepsister Jordan, were there, Minus Adam and his wife they are expecting Jan. 21 at Fort Lewis, WA.

2 p.m. Farm Bureo Building Jenkins's Family (Michael's Dad's side)
hectic. All smoking done outside of building (thankfully). Michael's cousin Randy informed all that she is expecting twins in May. Michael's cousin Dillian 8th grade fell off skate board, hurt elbow. Gabriel walked into one of the metal support beams that run from ceiling to floor. Grew third eyeball. (OK now) Michael's uncle Stacey refrained this year from fist fight with his brothers. Instead yelled.

Dec 24. 10 a.m. Antioch Mills Christain Church
Wonderful sermon. I loved way it was done from point of view. wonderful pick me up. Gabriel gave Em her present and received a Kiss in return. I couldn't help but laugh. Michael said you couldn't get better in laws.

4:30 p.m. Childer's family Aunt Bridgette's house's
Hectic. Michael's younger cousin's followed Lydia around like she was a live baby doll. I was alerted to her every move though. Everyone kept feeding Lydia and she got a stomach ache. Michael's cousin Tina showed up with a guy and informed everyone they were married. He was wasted at the time of introduction and shortly after passed out in basement.

Dec 25. 9a.m. Jenkins family (Our House)
Nice quiet time with Gabriel and Lydia.

12 p.m. Granny Perkins (My grandma's)
Very nice. My cousin and her boyfriend came with there cute boys. charlie age 2 and Conner age 1 Both with bright blue eyes and red hair. Conner and Lydia are only 11 days apart, Got call that day that they didn't expect my great aunt Ruby to make it. (My grandma's last sibling)

5 p.m. Bill's House (Michael's stepdad's Father)
top by real quick. He had his families Christmas at noon.

5:20 p.m. Christina and Mike Oaks's House (Michael's mom)
Very quiet. Michael's Stepsister's Brooke and Brandy usually come with their families, but they are not getting along with their dad, Mike and won't let him see his grand kids, so it was just us.

Dec 29 6 p.m. Marvin Mains's House

Dec 30 12 p.m. Bishop's Family Christmas (Michael's stepmother's family)
