Things I learned this Christmas....

1. If one adult in the house gets the flu - all others WILL follow.
2. Just because the adults are puking, it doesn't mean the kids will follow...YEAH for that one!
3. It is better to leave a sleeping toddler asleep on Christmas morning so that you don't have to listen to her cry and whine about not wanting to open her presents.
4. Christmas dinner of ham and Grandma Doris' recipe can be fun with just you, your children, and your parents :)
5. Your dream of having all your siblings at home at one time was not as fun as you thought-it is much more fun to see them at all different times because it makes Christmas last that much longer!
6. Buying clothes for an 11 year old girl is a waste of time. Something will always be too big, too small, too itchy, or not the right color.
7. Buying clothes for your 25 year old brother is way more fun! Anything from Gap or Old Navy makes a cute, single man VERY happy.
8. Hearing the sounds of 4 toddlers laughing and chasing and playing with eachother is what Christmas is all about.
9. Christmas wouldn't be Christmas if it wasn't for Mom and the amount of time she spent getting ready for her 5 adult children AND their families AND their dogs:)
