I am stealing the Flashback Friday Foto idea from Kirsten. Thanks, Kirsten! This flashback is from Christmas 2007. This was the last Christmas I spent with much family. We drove up to Connecticut to my brother's house and had everyone in the family there, except my baby brother and his wife. So, one set of grandparents, one older brother (hee hee hee, I spelled that "bother" initially!) with wife and 4 or 5 children, Jonathan with his wife and 3 children, Me and Dan with our 4 ankle-biters, Deborah with her hubby and munchkin, and Miranda with her sweetie in tow. Good times! Crazy times, but good times!
I know, insane. I think we had 12 adults and 12 children there. Maybe more. We definitely have more now! Going through the loot pile was fun.
The kids loved it because there was snow the entire time we were there. Probably our only white Christmas ever. There was much fun had in the snow.
And here I am with the 3 oldest kids. I think Dan had Delaney and took this picture. I think Callie was not going to see Santa alone.
I love Christmas and I love family. I am excited to get to spend Christmas with family again this year. I do like a quiet, stress-free Christmas alone, but the insanity of squishing millions together and tossing in chaos has it's own attraction and I like that too!
