Four Christmases: Part 1

Like all of you I’m sure, we have to juggle multiple holiday gatherings with multiple families. We switch off Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve and Christmas with Travis’ family; one year we’ll do Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve with one set of parents and Christmas morning and day with the other, and the next year we’ll switch. It sounds pretty easy, but somehow since Christmas involves presents, it gets infinitely more complicated. Add in relatives in Los Angeles, and you somehow get four “Christmases.”

This is Christmas 2008 Part 1 of 4…

This year, everybody on my side of the family was going to be at my aunt and uncle’s house in Beverly Hills, we decided it would be a pointless waste of space to drive all the presents for my parents down to LA, exchange them, open them, and then drive them all the way back home. So, several days before Christmas we went to my parents house for dinner and had our first “Christmas” of the year.

Savannah of course had to “help” everyone open their gifts.



Everyone got great things, but I think Savannah was most thrilled about her new dress-up clothes: a pink fluffy tutu, and a purple princess dress complete with a purple feather boa, and a silver crown, clip-on dangley earrings, and purple “high-heeled” Ariel shoes. Fancy!

Haha four Christmases was worth it though right? There was talk about New Years in Tahoe next year instead of Christmas in LA, just so you know.

We were not as smart as you. We wrapped all the presents, filled the car, drove to So. CA, unwrapped the presents, then filled the car up and drove them back. Crazy!! :)
