If you haven’t discovered
already, our family is full of traditions. In fact we have so many we are
constantly pushing some in and out and cramming way more into our schedule than
what should be physically capable (but our mom is Wonder Woman so it works
out). Today we had one of my favorite traditions: the family Christmas party. Now
I’ve been to about 19 of these now (I say about because someone will probably
prove that we skipped a year or point out the fact that we used to do two a
year) and let me tell you there are some classy moments. The first one I can
remember Santa (played by the one and only Sweetie) brought all the little
girls these big plushie dolls. The doll was as big as me and I loved that thing
so much. It’s this really random memory but an important one.
You can't prove this is from 2 years ago... |
Another Christmas Prima Donna
and I weren’t being very helpful getting ready so my mom sent us up to get in
the shower and told us to take a little while. We loved taking showers when we
were little. We played store and restaurant and dolls. In fact there was one
book we had that was actually made to go in the water. We read that book so
much we had it memorized forwards and backwards. In fact I still know most of
it… “shout me hears he fun was that gee out right jumps he done poppy’s when.”
The point is Prima Donna and I spent a lot of time playing in the shower as
kids. This particular day was no different and we ended up missing most of the
party because of it. If I remember correctly we had a nice time discussing
Prima Donna’s
crush on the next door neighbor.
From the talent show |
Another Christmas party we
had a huge nerf gun fight. Another one we had a magician come and I remember I
was the lucky girl who got to keep a
a white rabbit puppet. One Christmas party we
did a talent show… I’m not really sure why that happened but I think I danced
and played the clarinet. We’ve also made all sorts of treats, gingerbread
houses, candy, sugar cookies (that’s what we did this year). I love how my mom
makes it a fun thing. I never felt like I was too young or too old for a family
party. Good job Mommy. Keep it up.
