What was your least favorite and most favorite moment from the past 4 days?
My least favorite...going to everyone's house. Every year we say we aren't going to do it, make all those trips in one day and ruin a perfectly good day off work, but we still do it over and over again. We went to see his whole extended family first, ate a whole meal. Then we went to my mom's for dinner, ate a whole meal. Then we drove out to BFE to celebrate with my dad's extended family with a dessert carry-in. Way too much driving, talking, hugging, standing, and eating. Yes, I actually typed "too much eating."
My most favorite...decorating. I so wasn't into the holiday yet until I babysat all four of my sister's kids and took them to see Fred Claus. Hearing Silent Night be sung (with my 13 year old nephew singing along to the movie, no less) and seeing all that snow, it totally got me in the mood. Next day after the kids headed off to their dad's house, Chris and I drove out to the tree farm and cut down our tree, decorated the outside of our house with lights (Chris is like the Griswold's here...I'll have to post photos), and decked out the inside of our house with Christmas decorations. Now I'm feeling super warm and fuzzy inside.
