Christmas Day

We headed over to Mom's house Christmas afternoon to celebrate with the rest of the family and eat yummy turkey. Funny story about the turkey - I LOVE turkey dinner, it's my most favorite meal. So before Thanksgiving when all the turkeys are one sale I try to stock up as much as my freezer will let me. This year I got 2 - a 13 pounder and a massive 24 pounder. We used one of Mom's 18 pounders for Thanksgiving and decided to save the big one for Christmas. About 4 days before Christmas we were all playing games and I asked Kevin to run out to the freezer in the garage and take out the BIG turkey and put it in the fridge for me. He went out there and came back and I asked SEVERAL times, "Are you sure you got the BIG one?" and he assured me that the BIG one was in the freezer. Jump to Christmas Eve and he comes inside and says, "By the way, the other freezer in the garage that we had to unplug for Christmas lights had a turkey in it I guess, so we have to throw that one out" and of course THAT ONE was the big one. I freaked out and was not so nice to him because a 13 pound turkey was not enough to feed everyone on Christmas. I kept saying, "Didn't you think to mention that you only saw ONE turkey when I kept telling you to get the BIG one?" But no... he just saw a turkey and put it in the fridge... men... SO we ended up having 2 turkeys, I made the 13 pounder at my house and Mom quickly defrosted her other 18 pounder and made that at her house, what a mess :)Family picture - who's going to hold the baby next Christmas? :)Gracie with her new baby doll stroller, she was a very happy girl!We were lucky enough to have Uncle Rick with us this Christmas. It's always a treat and doesn't quite seem like Christmas without him.We are all SO lucky to be close together and be able to spend so much time together. I talk to my Mommy and sisters everyday and am so blessed that we get to see each other and enjoy each other's company not only at Christmas and other holidays but in everyday life as well. I LOVE my family!!!
