Christmas?

Wow, the end of the year seems to fly bye. We made it through Thanksgiving. I say “made it” because we hosted Thanksgiving at our house this year. It was a wild success. I must say though, I have a new appreciation for my other family members who have hosted this for years in the past. It is a lot of work and by the time it is over we were TIRED.

All of the family made the trek to our house. We live about 2 1/2 hours from everyone. So it was nice they made the trip up. It made it a lot easier for us. Not having to load up the car, kids, food, clothes, etc.

Oh, and this was the first major holiday without Dad. I think we did well. Since my Dad had never made it to my new house before he died, there were no memories of him at our house to reminisce about. I don’t me that to sound cold. We still missed him in the house and at the head of the table. It wasn’t the same without him there. Now if we can get through Christmas without too much pain, I will call that a success as well.

The food was great. Lot’s of food, drinking, golf, and games. I won’t talk about the golf, because I sucked bad, but the Cranium rocked. My Aunt and I teamed up and won the day.

Now, on a complete side note. It appears I am becoming less relevant as a “male” in my all female house. Since the kids are now potty trained, the next step is to get them to wipe better. You know, pee, then wipe. Well my wife has asked that I always sit on the toilet to pee and pretend to wipe.

This is me… WHAT! NO! No Way. Um, Okay. (Now I pretend to wipe my pretend vagina. Great!)

I am such a girlie man in my house. Shut up and don’t tell anyone. I am chalking this up to helping my girls become better potty citizens. Hey Elmo, you hear me?

Now where did I put my panties?
