Homeschooling in Illinois

Christmas Cont...

Posted in Holidays
For Christmas dinner (at lunch time) we went to my SIL's house.  We had yummy food and then the kids opened up more presents. 

We gave my MIL a picture of all the grandkids for Christmas.  It took two different sittings to get a picture.  The toddlers were... umm.... not too cooperative. 



But we finally got a good one.
In case you don't know, the ages of the kids are 9, 7, 6, 6, 6, 3, 3, 2, 1. 
We left my SIL's after 6 in order to pick up my brother, SIL, and niece from the airport.  A very busy, and tiring day.  But it was well worth it. 
What I never mentioned was the Christmas party at my SIL's house on the 22nd and my MIL came over on the 24th to wish N a happy b-day and to give us her presents. 
And then on the Day after Christmas, we had my family's Christmas.  The 10 that are currently in this house along with my sister and Grandmother were there. 
Here is a picture of my niece. 

She looks just like my brother and I did when we were little.  She is 2. 
On Friday, my hubby's best friend came over with his family, and on Sat, my dad came over.  For New Year's Eve, we had family and friends over, ate yummy food, and played Balderdash and Cranium.  We had a great time, but we are very glad the next few days will be uneventful.  Phew, we did more in the last few weeks than we did all year.

About Me

Oh, the crazy things that happen in my house.... I am the wife of M for 8 years now. I am the mother of a 10 yo boy - D, 6 1/2 yo boy - N, 4 yo girl - Princess C, 2 1/2 yo boy -Toddler B, and girl Lil' L born May 18. I've been homeschooling since 2003. I lean towards a Charlotte Mason approach, but more often than not, it's "whatever works".
