More Christmas Parties

I bet you thought that our Christmas ended on Christmas day...Well, we celebrated Christmas well into the weekend. We started off on Friday at Matt's cousin Jennifer and Jeremy's house for the Gingerich Family Christmas. We ate Pizza, breadsticks, and a whole lot of other YUMMY foods. Thanks:) We spent the rest of the night chatting, playing cards, watching the little girls in the family play. This side of the family has all girls (grandkids). Jennifer has two girls with another one on the way, Greta and I have little girls, and well Jamie she is the going to be the odd one of the bunch with one little girl and she is expecting a BOY!!! The streak is over:)
Anyway, Jennifer's oldest daughter is 6 monts older than Grace and they love playing with each other...they play so well together, then her second daughter is about 1 1/2 older than Izabelle and she is very protective of Izzybelle (as she says it...Too Cute), she told her mom they needed to turn the fireplace off so that Izzybelle wouldn't get burnt, but if it gets cold, then you can just turn the heat up. Too Funny. Then Jamie's little girl is about a year younger than Grace and she loves Baby Izabelle, well she said the other day that she is not a baby anymore, which is kind of sad, Izabelle is growing up. They all play so good together. Izabelle and B (Greta's little girl) are the youngest, until the new additions come along, but they are already wanting to play with the BIG girls.
We took pictures, so I will have to try to post those with the rest of the Christmas Pictures.
Oh, in some of the pictures you will find Dr. Audrey making Matt feel better. She said that he was so sick she had to wear glasses and kept giving him shots...It was that bad. Oh, and he had a lot of potatoes in his ears, so she had to get those out too. He was such a good patient that he got a sucker...Well a pretend sucker.
Hopefully next time we all get together we will have a new addition to the Gingerich Group...Please say a preggers prayer for Jennifer, she is due in 3 weeks, for a smooth delivery & recovery...Can't wait to meet this little gal.
So, onto Saturday, we had my mom's side of the family's Christmas. It seemed to be a little smaller this year, but we enjoyed the company nonetheless. I love to see all my cousins and aunts, especially the ones that live out of town. My cousin Lori's little girls are a year apart from each other, so I am glad that they have someone to grow up with. Emma and Grace are like two peas in a pod...they love Pet Shop and running around and performing. We don't really get to see each other much since they live in Illnois and we are here in Indiana. We had a blast playing the Dance Off that my Aunt Mikki came up with...I hardly knew what each dance was, but was really impressed that my Aunt Loretta knew them...Way to Go, Girl:) Oh, and my mom was great at this game, too. Some Hot Mamas, for sure. After chatting and laughing for hours, we decided that we better head on home...
Sunday, Jake's brother Aaron and his wife Margaret were over from Madison, so we all went to church together and after church we went to eat at Ponderosa with the rest of the Gingerich Group. Of course Lindsey and Grace had to seat together, poor Memaw was booted out of her place...Sorry Memaw:( We enjoyed the meal and together time and it was off to house for naps.
The rest of Sunday was pretty much getting the girls' rooms cleaned and organized.
Now, it's back to work and the anticipation of the New Year approaching.

Until Next Time...

God Bless...
