During
the holidays, people travel near and far just to see their families. It really
shows how important family is to us, especially during special times of the
year. This year, I’ve realized just how many crazy things we will do for our
family.
My
brother’s church needed a Santa Claus for their Christmas party, because their
normal Santa Claus wasn’t able to come. Apparently, I was the first one my
brother though of to be Santa. I didn’t think I’d be a very convincing Santa,
especially because half of the kids were related to me. Luckily, after a few
pillows were stuffed into the outfit, no one recognized me. Later, my cousin
told me that I needed to work on my Santa, because his son didn’t think I was
the real one.
When my
sister came home on the 27th, and we got a ton of snow, we started
right up with a family creation. Snowboating. We hook the snowboat to the
tractor, a sled to the back of the boat, build a snow hill, and drive through
the yard. We’ve also started using inflatable sleds behind the four wheeler,
taking them over jumps. We’ve even tried rafts and pool toys, like the
alligator. Sadly, he didn’t survive the jump.
Maybe
my family is just a little weird, but I still love them. Well, it’s time to go
spend the rest of the day with my siblings and cousins! Happy New Year!
