"Are you ready for Santa?" My boys would be asked this question to which we responded with, "our poor kids are confused since they have already had 3 Christmases and it is STILL NOT the REAL Christmas Day!" You have it with your spouse's side of the family. You have it with your family. You have it with your spouse and kids. You have it at one of the grandparents house with relatives. Then, you might even have one with special friends that are just as close as real family. Whew! Kids could really have a major letdown after the holidays. (and us, too!) I will let you have peek at the gathering's we have had so far...

Sarah Morgan was tired from getting up for Christmas at SIX A.M.
The wonderful, capable fathers took care of the 8 children so the gals could get up to start shopping at 6 a.m. --This is Pam's look of appreciation for the GIRLS ONLY shopping trip!
Hmm...will there be more Christmases to share?! ..smile...

Loved your post...so many Christmases!!!! Hope you're having a fabulous new year so far...
Hey! I forgot to confess to you that I stole a couple of pics off your blog for mine! Hope you don't mind...If you do, I'll think about discontinuing my use of them! :D Hey, any picture that I can find in which I look halfway skinny, I'm taking it by hook or by crook! Definitely an illusion, though, since I gained 11 lbs over Christmas vacation. Lost 5 now, though, so maybe it was worth it??
Pam....not worried about it! Confession is good for the soul...here it goes...I keep losing the same 2 pounds I gained over Christmas...grr! PLUS lost what I gained after Christmas...nope, don't feel better about sharing...lol...
