How did we survive?

How does one family survive 9 Christmas Get Togethers in one season?

Easy.
You just make sure everyone is in the car, and you hope for the best.  The best behavior.  The best food.  The best relatives that want to play with your kids while you enjoy adult time with other adults.

And apparently, you don't take very many pictures.  
But, you do make forts, have floor picnic parties, swim, and celebrate retirement.

   Play basketball, sing many many Christmas songs, eat a ton, play board game/Wii games, and celebrate Jesus.

Bake cookies, make crafts, go to the Mall of America (Property Brothers were there!), open presents, dance, and love on each other.

Happy New Year everyone!
