Christmas (Take 1!)

Last night we had Christmas with my family. Me, Chad, Mom, Dad, Kevin and Kyle! Cocoa ran around the whole time too :)
Dad and I worked but got off early and headed home around 4:30ish. We hung out for a little bit and then had a traditional Christmas meal of chicken soft tacos (haha we wanted something fast so we could get to the PRESENTS!).
After we ate we all sat down and did our stockings--thanks Santa for coming early! Then we indulged in the gift opening. Youngest to oldest, and this year Ava was thrown in the mix :) We have a wonderful family and I cannot express how much I love them. They are so generous and loving!
We finished presents and then played a game called 'Likewise'. Chad and I found it on sale at Kohl's and thought it looked fun. Everyone has a little white board that you can draw on. You flip over 2 cards : 1 is an adjective (like 'fun' or 'crazy' or 'elegant') and the 2nd one is a noun (like 'thing in a bathroom' or 'celebrity' or 'car) and so its always different because there's a whole stack of each of these words. ...(is this making any sense? I'm not the best at explaining ANYTHING really).  So then you write on your personal white board your answer and hope that it matches someone else in the group and if it does = you get a point. I won! :)
We got home around 12 and ended up going to bed about 12:30 (I went to sleep around 1:30 haha). GREAT day!

Sounds like you had a great time! And yes you sure do have a great family! Looks like Karen knows how to decorate for Christmas. Hey, that game sounds fun. We will have to play it when we come!
