Home Is Where Your Family Is



I personally think I have one of the greatest families in the world. Now that I'm married and have my "In-law" family...it's even better. Every Christmas we all get together and enjoy catching up on the past year. We've done this for as long as I can remember. Our day starts out just hanging around the house together, eating breakfast, maybe playing a video game or watching a movie, shooting guns in my Grandparent's back yard, playing horseshoes, then having a late lunch, then opening presents. My favorite part of the day isn't anything listed above...it's what happens AFTER opening our presents. Wrapping Paper War. We all break up into teams (usually kids vs. "adults"...or our parents). We gather wrapping paper while opening gifts and then it's all out warfare! We make balls out of the paper and throw them like they were snowballs, trying to peg whoever we can. This year...we actually got some vidoe of it and my father-in-law posted it on youtube. I figured I would share a little of our "Family Traditions" with all of you!
