Here we are just three days before Christmas. Our Hatfield family Christmas was last Sunday and we had a great time.. We changed it up to breakfast this year...Bloody Marys and Bourbon enriched Egg Nog beat out coffee....shocker! We had great fun playing a new game with oven mitts and dice...... everyone was happy to watch and play... We went back to drawing names and that was a fun change too.... Of course, having everyone here was the best part. We'll probably never have the whole gang together as they are scattered from NC to Ca to Fl but with the help of our phones and cameras, everyone gets to enjoy.
With the joy of having Jett to celebrate with this season we were also missing Aunt Wendy and Aunt Nancy. We also lost a cousin a few weeks ago so with all joy always comes some sorrow. It reinforces our need to make contact, enjoy what we have and live each day to the fullest.
I am so looking forward to Christmas in 3 days. Our family will be here to enjoy the grands (Jett, Bailee and Julz,) drink a few bloody marys, eat a huge, juicy piece of raw, red meat and smile when they love their gifts. We always have chuckles when the manly knife comes out or Lee gets his annual dirty joke book.
We also have our day of remembering on Christmas Eve when this year will bring the 10th anniversary of Dad leaving us for greener golf courses and unending scotch in the heavens. He would have so loved Bailee's wit and intelligence and Jett's huge smiles and love of everyone. I'll bet he knows♥
