Family Fun!

Each year we get together as a family and open our Christmas presents on Christmas Eve. This year was no exception and for the first time in three years we ALL were together, including the six kids, spouses, and grand kids. We had a lot of fun together and continued many family traditions. One thing mom likes to do is give all the big girls a fun gift and all the big boys one too. This year the big hit was the last present opened that night. Each of the big boys, including Scott and Justin, opened up a marshmallow gun made out of PVC pipe and an accompanying bag of mini marshmallows. Within seconds a full fledged war started up and the fun began! Marshmallows were flying everywhere while kids ran around to gather up the ammo to re-stock their dads supply while all the ladies sat there trying to dodge the bullets and laughed so hard they were crying. The boys were hiding, slouching, ducking, not to mention dropping and rolling just to get the perfect shot at their target! Good times were had by one and all and memories were made. A few short days later our lives changed forever with the loss of Joey so it is nice to be able to think back and remember what a good "soldier" he was that night and how well he and Adam worked together to attack their enemy. It is one night that will never be forgotten!!
