2 Down, 3 to go!

Well the Haasnoot and Fessenden Christmas's are now over. The Haasnoots' (My Mom's Side) was last Saturday and it was a great time. There was 26 of us, the weather was beautiful, the food was great, and everyone was in good spirits.

We also just celebrated the immediate Fessenden Christmas (Deb's Family) at Debs' parent's place. It was a great time also but seemed to go rather quickly. Deb, Patrick and I headed down there a couple days ago and spent the time semi-relaxing and visiting friends. We then celebrated Christmas yesterday (Saturday) afternoon. The girls (My 3 nieces) were particularly hyped up as only little kids can be. Patrick took it all in stride and spent most of the time watching baby einstien since he wasn't really interested in any gifts. That was kind of expected though so no big deal.

Deb, Patrick and I are now home (Christmas Eve) and are just relaxing. We may or may not go to church/my parents tonight for the Christmas Eve rituals. It depends on how tired we all are. Patrick seems to be going to sleep earlier and earlier so we have to play a lot of things by ear.

Tomorrow, Deb, Patrick and I will have our own little Christmas morning with some gift giving. It will be our first McLaren family Christmas morning to ourselves which we are looking forward to. Then my folks are coming over for breakfast then we'll relax for a few hours. Once Patrick has his nap, we'll head over to my mom and dad's for the McLaren Christmas gathering and supper. Should be a blast!

Lastly, there is a Fessenden Clan Christmas but that won't be until late January and will be at the Mandarin. We'll have Kathryn then so that should be fun.

Anyways, I pulled my neck some how this morning and am in quite a lot of pain so i'm going to go now!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!
