Yesterday ended up being a really nice day with my family. Once I got up and showered we checked out of the hotel and got on the road at a pretty decent time. We got to my sisters house a little after 2pm and arrived to a delicious spread of cheeses and snacks! It was really nice catching up with everyone....my sister pretty much spent the whole day making dinner and we all kept her company. I was also re-united with my dog because my oldest sister had picked her up for me Friday night so we could spent the night in the hotel. I was trying to relax and enjoy myself and I think I did a good job of it....I certainly wasn't being overly obsessive about washing my hands! The dinner that my second to oldest sister made was absolutely fantastic. She made Beef wellington with butternut squash and cranberries, potatoes, and garlic spinach. I ate so much of it all!
After dinner all my sisters helped to clean up the dinner mess....which was actually really terrible! I'm pretty sure that all of the dishes in the house were dirty. The clean up actually went pretty fast with all hands on deck! This was followed by playing darts for a while and then slowly everyone started going to bed. My intention was to go to sleep early because I didn't get that much sleep from the night before, but I was actually up pretty late. The last two people up was my second to oldest sister and I....we were watching "White Christmas". I've probably watched that movie about 100 times!
The plan was to get up today and open presents since we decided to make it "Mock Christmas Day" then all go ice skating. I'm so glad that we're all going to be here for another night because if it was only one night it would definitely not be enough time. So far I've been having a really great time, it's also nice having my boyfriend here as well:) We have a lot that we still need to accomplish....like the traditional fudge making! Also this year we are going to make mini gingerbread houses:) Until next time!
