Merry Christmas, everyone! Woke up to the traditional smell of Mom’s cinnamon rolls and sausage ring in the oven, but this year Abigail took the lead and breakfast was amazing. Good work sis. As is typical, hours + to make a meal, and gone in 10 minutes max. But who can blame us, Santa had visited and we had presents to open. Movies, clothes, books, cooking tools – not a bad haul for anyone this year. However, the annual tradition of a few scratcher lottery tickets was a complete bust. As Mark said, we made a donation to the local schools today.
Rest of day included grazing on leftovers, naps all around, and apparently a new tradition of watching a Man vs. Food tv marathon for almost the entire day. Most ridiculous show and food eating exhibitions ever. Which led the family to our own Man vs. Food competition, where no one needs to eat, but we of course save the biggest meal for last with a beef tenderloin and gnocchi. Tonight’s blog is all about the food. But that’s just because we all like to sit around and hang out with each other, and after a week we run short of things to talk about. So we watch a man eat a ton of food, as we make jokes while stuffing our own faces. We all had a great Christmas.
Tomorrow, the family will have to take a short break from being with each other as Mark and Maggie need to head back to Cincinnati for the week, and everyone else is heading to St. Louis. Mom starts her treatment on Monday, so as much fun as Christmas was, today doesn’t hold a candle to the excitement we all have to get Mom her ultimate Christmas present.
Goodnight and Merry Christmas!
