Okay I know I have been slacking on the blogging stories in my life. I have been so busy with filling the Christmas season with joy that some things have to take a back seat. Last weekend Terry went to a B-ball game with his friend. I really wanted to go to the Quilted Bear to see the live reindeer and Santa. I have never done this before and thought it would be fun. And heck while I am in the area I might as well go see the elves at Gardner Village. So I drug Troy (who seems to be my second husband lately), Terrys brother with me to go have fun. The thing I didn't mention til he got here was that I had my 3 kids, his 3 girls, my brothers 3 girls and my sisters 2 kids to go with us. Well off we went to have a good time, yes that is 2 adults and 11 kids.
Quilted bear was fun there was no line which was a blessing because it had been crazy all day. And with 11 kids I don't think that would have been fun. The reindeer were cool, which I have never seen, I think they said it was Dasher! SOO Cool
Then Gardner Village was fun and not very busy. We walked around counting all the elves to see who could find the most. Troy is such a sweet guy, he is so easy and fun to be with that we had a great time. It was funny because on the way out we were walking past a family and he says (loud enough they could hear) "So honey do you think we should have another?" then I reply "I think it would be great you know Aunt Dixie has 12 kids and they all seem so happy." The lady stopped in her tracks and said you want another here you can have this one right now and you can have your dozen just like that.
I laughed all the way home. Then we came home and had pizza and made popcorn balls and watched Rudolf. Yes the house full of my neices and one nephew. It was wonderful. Then Troy took his kids home and the rest stayed for a fun cousin sleepover. I just love being an aunt, I don't think it gets any better then this baby!

Bummer, wish we were there. Even though my kids are little they still LOVE things like that. I REALLY miss you Sis and especially being a part of your kid's lives and you a part of my kid's. You are awesome and definitely a lot like your big SIS.
Sounds like crazy fun! Kinda like when I was young with my 10 brothers & Sisters :)
