Some Cold Weather And A Family Get-Together

It’s Tuesday and less than a week before Christmas. It is really cold here and finally feeling like winter. The high today was only 40 degrees F. That is really cold for us. But I sort of love it because it really feels like Christmas. I don’t think we will have snow if anything probably some rain but that is okay too because we are still really dry in this area.

On Sunday we had our family Christmas get together at my house. I had to work all week so I knew I wouldn’t have a lot of time to clean my house. I had planned to do a little cleaning all week. I thought maybe I would do some cleaning before work and some after work. Well you probably know how that worked out. I hardly got anything done throughout the week.  But it was alright. I knew my house didn’t have to be super clean for my family to have a good time. And we did have a great time. Everyone brought food so I didn’t really have to do a lot of cooking. We had a great time!!!! We played a couple of games and did a dirty Santa swap. I got a yummy smelling candle and an Elvis Presley calendar in the swap. I didn’t take a lot of pictures but we were just having too much fun. I did have the entire clan pose for a picture. I set the timer on my phone and we were able to get everyone in on the picture.

The whole gang!!!!
I got my nephews to recreate a photo from several years ago. They were about 8 and 10 years old here.
They are now 20 and 22. It took a lot of pleading to get one of them to do it. You can probably guess which one doesn’t look too enthusiastic. But they are both precious to me and will always be my little nephews whom I love dearly.

So a great family get together and some very cold weather and Christmas just around the corner. I hope you are spending time with your loved ones, eating a lot of Christmas goodies, watching Christmas movies, and cherishing those near and dear and those that are far away from you as well. 

Always remember

Love Your Day Your Way!!
