Oh What Fun!

It looks like we should be heading to a Christmas party! Both of my sisters are home, so we are having a party! We've had a couple nice family dinners all together and have plans to celebrate Christmas. Trying on our dresses from high school was just one of the many random things we will end up doing during the time they are home!

My grandma is also in town, so while Mom and Dad are at work tomorrow, my sisters and I plan to spend time with Grandma. We'll probably decorate a gingerbread house, bake lots of cookies, and have Grandma take us out to lunch!

Julie and Amy decided we had to have a real [big] tree in our house this year, so that was their project today. They found and cut down a tree for our living room, and we all spent the evening decorating it. It already has quite a few presents under it, waiting to be opened on Saturday morning. Yes. Saturday. We decided to have a more leisurely Christmas morning on Christmas Eve. We'll save our [new] stockings [that Amy made!] for Christmas morning before church, and have a nice turkey meal for supper on Christmas day! Grandma will be with us for the weekend, and then we head to my other grandparents on Monday to celebrate with more extended family for the day.

It's nice to have the whole family together - we haven't all been together since May! I'm looking forward to our time together as we continue to make Tischer Family Memories - like trying on fancy dresses!
