This last Sunday we had our annual Clay family Christmas party here at our house. My Mom's side of the family is pretty big with having three sisters, 10 grandkids, and about 19 great grandkids. Not everyone was here, but I believe in total we had about 32 and half of them were kids. We rotate every year between our house and my cousin Clay and Maria's since we have a place big enough to hold that many comfortably. We did a ham and Orlin made a yummy spiced ice tea punch with the white whiskey and it was a huge hit. We will be having it again on Christmas eve since everyone loved it. Everyone else brought stuff for the dinner or dessert so it worked out great. The kids had a blast playing together and we adults enjoyed catching up and spending time together. We did a gift exchange with the kids and also one for the adults. I ended up with movie tickets and Orlin got a furry blanket that he has fallen in love with! He has actually been taking it to bed with him a night he loves it so much! I'm a just a little jealous actually! ;) We had fun looking a pics from the same gathering in years past and it was so fun to see all the kids as babies and even myself and my sister and teenagers. Man how time flies! It's a great reminder to really live in the moment and not to take any day or time with family for granted!
