Family Time

My busy schedule has been put on hold for a couple days…. my aunt is in town, and family trumps busy schedule every time. We may not have freshly baked cookes and fudge from my kitchen… but we have wonderful family memories!  Yesterday my aunts, mom, daughter, cousin, and grandkids shopped until we dropped. We dropped right into a restaurant, where we had a nice leisurely lunch. A lot of catching up, a lot of laughing, and a lot of resting up… so we could continue shopping! Today we celebrated my cousins birthday with lunch out, and more shopping. Brandon went with us today… he said he had fun with us. I always get a kick out of my aunts and mom. The way they visit is kind of unique. At least I think it is. I don’t have a sister, so I have no first hand experience with how sisters communicate. But I always find it very entertaining when this older group of women are together. We wrapped up the day with an evening at my Aunt’s home playing sequence, eating yummy foods including ham, and pumpkin pie. It was a beautiful day. I feel very blessed with family…  With all this shopping, one might think I’m done with my Christmas shopping. Well. Think again. Yep. at this rate, I’m going to be right down to the wire… wrapping gifts as the family arrives at the Christmas party.
