Oh what a night!!

Last Saturday we finally had time to decorate the gingerbread house our awesome neighbors made for us. Sean was super excited to put all the candy and frosting on.

he made all by himself

After our mad decorating skills we got ready to go to my grandma Tschaggeny's house for our annual grandkids sleepover. Before that the whole family met at grandmas house to go to the cemetery. It was pretty cool, the entire cemetery was lit up by candle light. This is our first sleepover without grandpa, it will never be the same without him, but this was our way of having grandpa there. Miss you SOOO much Grandpa.

This year my mom and dad took Sean and Carson so they could start the tradition of having a sleepover at their grandma and grandpas house. All of my cousins kids slept at there grandparents house too. As much as I love my kids, it was so nice not having to worry about them and just enjoy some yummy food, fun games, cousins and my siblings (minus Matt and Chelsee, we missed you guys very much.) We all look forward to this tradition every year. We ate some pizza and lots of finger foods (you never starve at grandmas house) then we played some games. We started out with some Catch Phrase, then we played the name game and then we finished off with boxers or briefs. About 2:30ish we got all the air mattress blown up and started a movie. Most of us fell asleep during the movie, but some of the boys stayed up all night playing the wii. Lets just say I did not get much sleep that night, but we had lots of fun. We woke up to the yummy smells of grandma fixing breakfast. I am so lucky to have such an awesome grandma, thanks for all you do!!! I love this time of year because of all the old family traditions and new ones we start, I love my family so much!! HoPe YoU aLl HaVe A VeRy MeRrY ChRiStMaS!!!!
