Christmas (in March!)

     Who says you can't post your Christmas pictures in March? LOL! Hey, at least I am finally getting around to it, right? And I DID try, blogger was just being smarter than me, so I couldn't get it figured out.
     We celebrated Christmas this  year at my parents house. We all had a great time up until a nasty case of the stomache flu hit with a vengence. Out of the 11 people staying at my parents house, 9 of us got sick in some form or another plus both of my grandparents! It is a good thing that my parents have 3 bathrooms... that is all I will say!
     We always play games and have yummy treats on Christmas Eve. This year we played the regular Christmas Bingo and ate cinnamon rolls. I read about a fun game called the 'candy bar game' on my friend's blog, so I decided to try it.... I don't think anyone wants to play it again, but it was lots of fun. Talk about a mess though! The clean-up almost took longer than the game.

Here are a few pics from the candy bar game...

Okay... so it was pretty messy...

Parker doesn't like his hands to be sticky, so this is how he ate his cinnamon roll...

All cleaned up and ready for bed...

     Christmas morning was 'magical' again this year. You know how when you are little everything seems so magical? It was so fun to play 'Santa' for Parker, and I bet that it will be even better next year.

     My mom got VERY spoiled this year! My dad gave her a pair of pants that we all INSISTED she try on as soon as she opened them. Once she put them on she discovered a key... to a 1966 MUSTANG!!!! Wow! Dad sure trumped us all on the gift giving this year. :)

     I will have to be sure to take some better pics of it this summer... Maybe Mom will even take me for a ride it it. :)

     Since the plague started Christmas afternoon we decided we are having a 'Christmas do-over' in June. I will keep you posted on that, but it better happen.
