Holiday Seasons come and gone...

We have had a busy couple months. We had a great Thanksgiving with my family this year. We had everyone over to our house and we ate and ate and played games. It was very fattening but very worth it! A week after Thanksgiving we had a Christmas party with Lynn's family. We all got together and ate, and ate, and played games. Very fattening as well.. Then we had Jordyn's Christmas dance concert, Kylan's school Christmas party. Then it was time to bake, bake, bake! I love baking for my neighbors and family, but it is very fattening as well, but homemade sugar cookies and pumpkin bread? mmmm it was worth it at the time. We then had Christmas Eve come so fast. We had my family over for my mom's annual delicious feast. She cooks for 2 days for this event. She told me next year I have to learn to make the Lebanese kibby, but I don't know if I can put my hands in the raw meat like she does, hmmm will the tradition go on? Tiff? Tris? or maybe Melissa? or if by next year I am rid of my phobia of raw meats I will try it.. Christmas was great! Kylan had a full on Start Wars Christmas, and Jordyn got her snowboard and Canyons season pass. Lynn and I are waiting til the snow melts so we can purchase mountain bikes for us. We thought we can take that on as a hobby for us to do together. We had a great holiday season, it was very busy, and fattening, but we enjoyed it. I am now going to be busy at the gym trying to work off the extra load. The food was good at the time, but now I feel yuck. Im sad the holidays came and gone so fast, but now I can look forward to SPRING! and warmer weather.

Trac,

Thanks for hosting one of the best Xmas Eve parties to date! I had a blast. I so admire your ability to juggle school, work, family, home and Lynn ; ) with grace and patience. I think it's such a good idea for you guys to buy bikes. I love that. Anyway, thanks for being a great sister and such a talented woman. You are pretty damn amazing, all that you do, all that you are. I love you!

I forgot to mention: the first picture of us? Tiff has on one boot and one sock! We're all misfits in our own way. : )

How fun! I wish all the Tabish's would get together for Christmas. That would be the best! Zeus and Linda taught me how to make Kibbi while we were there. I have the same phobia about raw meat but after a while it was okay. I love kibbi, it's worth it!
