Holiday Cheer

Griffing family Christmas 2011 recap:
1. built a gingerbread house complete with inappropriate but humorous gingerbread residents
2. successfully navigated a Christmas Eve trip to the mall (NEVER AGAIN)
3. had a Modern Family marathon (mom's new favorite show)
4. watched Monte Carlo (thought it would 2 hours of my life i'd never get back but actually ended up liking it - i have a girl crush on leighton meester.)
5. listened to plenty of old and new Christmas music
6. stuffed our faces full of steak, potato fries, buttery rolls and cranberries

8. had a sister sleepover on the floor of Olivia's room on Christmas Eve
9. attended midnight mass
10. had the traditional Christmas Eve screening of Miracle on 34th Street
11. cheered on the Thunder as they defeated the Magic
12. indulged in Christmas morning cinnamon rolls, bacon & OJ
13. laughed our butts off as Charley adjusted to his new "big boy" bed
14. had an at home manicure session (i should start doing that for a living)
15. relaxed and basked in the glory of a 5 day break and enjoyed my time with my beautiful family

It was a wonderful Christmas and I can't believe it's over! Where has December gone? Where has 2011 gone?? It is December 29th and I am confused as to how that is the date. This year flew by so fast. Tomorrow I'll be headed to Birmingham for New Year's Eve and I'll be back Monday!

See you in 2012!
