Yes, I know Christmas is over but I hadn't got a chance to post anything regarding Christmas. I will just start by apologizing for not getting any pictures at any Christmas event we had. I'm sorry.
1st Christmas: On Christmas Eve, we went to my mom and Harold's for dinner. Last year, my mom started a tradition of making Turkey Enchilada Casserole. For those of you who grew up with on the Whipps side of family, you know how good it is. Since they is only 7 of us at Christmas, it doesn't make since to have a big ham or turkey.
Normally on Christmas day we go to Mike's parents then we go to my Dad and Kelly's house. Since the snow was still bad on Christmas we didn't end up going to either.
2nd Christmas: We went to my Dad and Kelly's on New Year's Day. We saw my Dad, Kelly, Hannah and Isaac. Kelly made her usual drink that I love, Mulled Grape Juice. I don't know how to describe it. I just think that it was yummy. She also made my favorite cookie at Christmas time, Russian Tea Cakes. She had made them fresh that morning, too! It was good to see them because I don't get to see them that often. We spent the afternoon at there house.
3rd Christmas: We finally made it to Mike's parents on January 4th. After they had 3 feet of snow that had melted off. They didn't have a couple inches of snow when we got there but nothing like we had earlier. We had a Christmas brunch at there house with his immediate family, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and family friend. It was a nice brunch with A LOT of food. It was good to see relatives and friends that we don't get to see as often. On the way home we stopped at my grandparents house to visit with them.
Normally, all this is fit into a day and a half. It was much more relaxing since it was spread out over two weeks.
