The Frenzy known as the Kraft Holiday Season is finally winding down. It was great fun and quite exhausting. Highlights include:
- Kraft Christmas where one of my relatives when asked if he wanted another piece of cake dipped his hand in the pan and scooped it out (so much for THAT cake!)
- Dalton Scantlebury had his first Chrismas and entertained us by trying to eat his book.
- Emily served as an awesome Sous Chef and assistant event planner including dipping of the chocolate coated pretzels, wrapping presents and general event preparation assistance
- Sangria and baked cheese ruled the day again at the annual Chrismas Eve Open House including an appearance by "Santa" Tom Stokes and family
- Dan made it through his first semi single Christmas with great aplomb - including fabulous new Cub jackets, paint ball guns and cell phones for the kids
- Brother Jim looked clean and merry and bright too...even sharing photos of his first grandchild! (YIKES!)
- We all were entertained and humbled by Father Ric's sermon at mass -- and there was no fighting
- Rita enjoyed her new bed and bag of bones
- Snow continued to fall off and on throughout the week
- The Kraft Cousins took off for a night out and sang Irish/German bar music and rap tunes while sampling the best Irish beers!
- We enjoyed living through Aunt Amy's adventures in China on her blog
- We're sadly living through Uncle Dewey Lynn's illness
- Friends and family made it all worth it!
Merry Christmas - we love you and hope yours was bright too!
