{Christmas} Round 1…DING DING DING

Patrick had hip surgery Friday. The girls had a Harmonizers performance Saturday. Ty’s birthday was Sunday.

It was the perfect trifecta for family fun (and meltdowns…but more about that in another post).

The in-laws were in to help and for the festivities, and my sister crashed her for the weekend.

So why not do Christmas Round 1 while we were at it? Oh, and mom-in-law’s birthday is right before Christmas, too.

Let the festivities begin!

Growing up, we were that family that went around one person at a time and watched each person open EVERY.BLESSED.GIFT. Clearly that tradition didn’t survive.
