December…

WHAT A BUSY MONTH!

It’s almost like 2 totally different months CRAMMED together.

First there’s the “school” December..teaching, testing, report cards, crafts, paperwork, glue (LOTS OF GLUE!), and getting ready for JANUARY.

THEN…

The “holiday” December…shopping, wrapping, list-making, cooking, shopping, re-wrapping, birthday shopping ( we have 5 birthdays in December & 5 in January!), and then the

CELEBRATIONS BEGIN!

I am NOT COMPLAINING! I LOVE December! 

But…it’s like a rollercoaster…eat, celebrate, sleep, eat, celebrate, sleep..

(We have a “new” friend joining our family activities this year..my advice to him…

Sleep when you can, eat all you want, and BE IN THE CAR ON TIME!)

We begin with…

THE 49er’s Football game ( Great Grandpa LONG TIME 49er FAN)

Thank you 49ers for winning…made Great Grandpa HAPPY!

THEN…

Christmas EVE…Chinese food…Family Fun…Cards until LATE at NIGHT

(We HAVE to go home…SANTA is coming…We have to be UP in a few hours!)

Christmas DAY…

Early at our house…THANK YOU to my family for the “LOVE”

Cook ( SOME MORE..breakfast goodies)

Then to SISTER’s…more food, drink & MERRY MERRY

Kids all waiting…patiently…well, almost!

Open, play, laugh, eat, play, eat. play…..Sleep? NO! PLAY!

Then Off to MORE family MERRY MERRY!

Arrive at home just in time to …

SLEEP…:)

Then  next day….

BIRTHDAY PARTY!

Great Grandma’s Bday is the day after CHRISTMAS…

So we go…BOWLING!

26 of us this year! ( Keeps growing every year!)

ALL of us!

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Uncle & Neice

Little Ones…BUMPER BOWL!

Doesn’t every little one learn to walk at the Bowling Alley?

( Notice the CHOCOLATE Lips?  She LOVES Chocolate cupcakes!)

Soooo…today I clean put away…redistribute the Christmas decor. 

I have to…

ANOTHER BIRTHDAY TOMORROW!

The rollercoaster ride is NOT over. Are we at the top? Or the Bottom?

Who knows…just get in, hold on, and…

BE IN THE CAR ON TIME!

Happy Holidays!
