Kick off to Christmas

On Saturday we went to my mom's to celebrate Christmas with her and Cliff. As usual she spent too much on all of us, but she loves her family and loves buying them gifts. It was wonderful to have the family together and it was a nice surprise to see Allison and John. We all wish Cheri and Emily could have come up from Florida too. Also as usual, Mom and Cliff prepared waaaaaaaaay too much food. We ate until we were stuffed and when we were finished it didn't look like we'd even put a dent in the spread. There was one moment of excitement when Sveta shattered the biggest snow globe my mom owns. IT WAS A MESS! I don't think anybody was upset though... when you have young kids around, these things will happen. We had a really great day!
