TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

This was the first year we have ever had Christmas at our home, so it was very exciting to have my family over to stay the night. Steve, Reed, Uncle Cody and Aunt Nicaela, and MimiPops(the collective term Reed calls my mom and dad) were all there. We had plenty of tasty treats to spoil any diet, and even more laughs. We have a tradition that Pops reads The Night Before Christmas, and Cody reads the Christmas Story from the Bible. Pops, bless his heart, cannot make it through the story without being laughed at for some reason or another, usually a bad pronunciation (like e'er he drove out of sight was "ear he drove out of sight"). I know, I know, we're a tough crowd. So by the time Cody was ready to read his story, everyone was laughing hysterically and Reed wouldn't sit still for anything. We also had quite a laugh when we discovered Percy with evil eyes sitting on the toilet. Needless to say, it was difficult getting Reed to bed, but everyone had a great time.
