i love christmas :) the second best gift of christmas (christ being the first, of course) is family. it's the one holiday that we all seem to make an extra effort to visit all family. most other holidays are spent with one family, but christmas brings us all together, if at all possible.
we spent today with some of stephon's family. we were at his dad's and step-mom's. brell, jerome, joseph and michelle and their boys, and devon's daughters were all there. we always miss bridget and her family when we get together, but it was a great time :)
the kids play great together. shelby and zaire played with matching toys together, but we ofcourse have the whole sharing issue at this age ;) nathan entertained joe-joe and rikia but was most interested in his new remote controlled mustang gt. shelby also followed paige and rikia around. they are sweet girls and love to play with shelby.
stephon watched football with papa joe and uncle charles, although i think papa joe was more interested in holding elise :)
michelle, arlene, joseph, jerome, and i played spades. i did pretty well this time! the last time we played i was pregnant. as you all are well aware, i go through a seemingly significant diminished brain capacity when i'm pregnant and it doesn't show any more than when i'm playing spades! michelle is always my partner, and is always patient with me :) today we kicked butt!
check this out... we had turducken for dinner! have you ever heard of that? me, neither! it was pretty good. you have to check out the link and see what this is.
unfortunately, i have no pictures. that's awful, but between cards and babies, i just didn't pull it off. hopefully i can get some pictures from arlene.
if anyone has spelling corrections for names, i would greatly appreciate it!
