As the holiday celebration comes to a close (and since we have several hours to kill out here in the sticks of North Carolina before we head home tomorrow), we came up with our 12 memories from Christmas 2006...
1. Mom pulling off 2 nights of formal family dinners and doing dishes well past midnight.
2. "My Flabulous Family" comment by Carrie, with a comeback of "My Flatulous Family" by Chuck over Christmas dinner
3. Two back to back days of Rav’s
4. The worst rendition of 12 Days of Christmas in all of our family's history.
5. Hearing Grandma Bretz tell us about her Christmas memory at dinner
6. Hearing Mom's favorite Christmas memory about Mark getting sick from the anticipation of Santa arriving and Paul having panic attacks from the same thing.
7. Watching Vickie and her kids give each other a hard time.
8. The so called "dream team" of Trivial Pursuit (Benji and Jeff) losing to The Pie Team (thanks to "Slice", a.k.a. Chuck).
9. Cousin Bobby providing his musical skills for our caroling and watching Mark cringe at how out of tune the guitar was.
10. The toast at Christmas dinner, where everyone had something to add.
11. Hearing Pop tell me how smart he thinks I am! (hee hee... got him fooled!!!)
12. Great conversation, laughter and the joy of relaxed family time.
And here are some pics from our NC Christmas
Who said there's no Santa! ;-)
