Well....it happened again.
Just like last year, it was "one of those years." Things just didn't go as planned to celebrate Christmas with my parents. But, that's okay. It's better late than never! We enjoy any time that get to be with them. It really is a treasure!
As usual, they showered us with many gifts! We had fun giving them some, too.
I pulled out a couple of Christmas decorations and let the kids play Christmas music.
And then we feasted, and played, and opened gifts and spent lots of family time together. That's the best, isn't it?
We even spent some time working on making (and eating) gingerbread houses! It was fun, but wow what a mess!!
We talked and visited and they enjoyed being with their grandchildren and great grandchildren. My parents are such good grandparents!
On the last night they took us out for pizza and wings. It was so delicious! We decided to sit outside since it was a nice night and would fit all of us. My parents definitely are SOUTH Floridians and couldn't handle a 60 degree night chill. Us NORTH Floridians could! :o)
And just like that it was time for them to go. It always goes by so fast and I cherish every moment. Love you Mom and Dad!!
What a fun time everyone had. It's always a treasure to spend time with our parents especially as we grow older it seems.
