Spoiled Christmas Kids

I never believed I was spoiled until this Christmas. I helped plan a Christmas Angel type activity with the singles branch and I was truly taken back when I realized how little some of these kids were getting for Christmas. It almost didn't make sense to me that a child would wake up to only two gifts to unwrap on Christmas morning and I mean if they did only have two gifts, then they for sure must be getting some cash too. Well of course they weren't, so I worked really hard to make each kid have more then a few gifts to open. So needless to say, I felt incredibly spoiled this year, and I never admit that, I tend just to expect to be spoiled. But my mom did spoil all of us this year. The little boys were of course spoiled too. Every year since Ive been home I feel like they get everything under the sun and this year was no different. In my effort to make sure the little boys didn't get 500 different toys, I decided to make them blankets. It was a fabulous idea until I realized my time to finish them was slowly diminishing. I ended up having to stay up literally all night to get them done on time.
On Christmas day, my dad's family came over for dinner. He has 10 brothers and sisters so its always an event to have almost everyone together. I wish I would have had a note pad to take notes of all the funny things they say. My favorite quote of the night was of one of my aunts who told the story of when she was babysitting my twin 2nd cousins. She took them to Walgreen's for a treat and the 5 year old girl was being a pill I guess, so she told her "I'm gonna beat your A$$!" It was pretty hilarious.
