Christmas Eve..

For all the Christmas festivities this year we were with Davids side of the family. We got a nice long weekend to go up to Winter Park and relax which was nice! On Christmas Eve day we got to hang out and be lazy all day which was nice. David's mom had made some sugar cookies before we had arrived and I had the duty of decorating them. I channelled my artistic side and got started- they turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself! Hopefully Santa Kurt likes them!

I tried to put a good one of the moose on here, but it keeps putting it upside down!

The moose is a true work of art!

We started off the festivities at his aunts house and had their traditional Polish dinner, which consits of 11 dishes- or so we all think so! With these 11 dishes you have to have 1 of everything on your plate and eat at least some of everything- including mushrooms-which for me are no good and peas for David! This usually means finding the smallest piece of whatever you don't like then mixing it in with something good to hide the food. We all have a good time just being together as a family and carrying on tradition. Then we all get to open presents to each other and this year we came away with a new down comforter for our bed from Papa Chet- which I LOVE! We also got a few gift cards and a game. Then it was back to the in laws house to wait for Santa!
