Winter Holidays

Why is it that we only seem to spend time with our extended families during the Holiday season? We always spend the Saturday after Thanksgiving with the Pippert's. All of Dan's seven siblings come with their children, and now they are coming with their children. We probably had close to 100 people there this weekend. It was amazing. We always bring leftovers so everyone has something to snack on and there is always too much food. We have so much fun with them. And the funny thing is....we all live within 20 minutes of eachother. This is the ONLY time of year that we see them. Why is that? Are our lives too busy that we don't have time to spend with family? Or is it that we are subconsciously keeping ourselves away from them so that we don't hate them? Makes you wonder doesn't it?

Blog to you soon.....

I'm convinced that I only see my in-laws a few times a year in order to reduce my intake of saturated fat. My mother-in-law is a fabulous, but deadly, cook. Butter, anyone? Yum.
