CHRISTMAS

The weekend before Christmas we traveled to Cleveland for a family-filled weekend celebrating the joyous holiday with both sides of my family. I love my family very much and enjoy the little but wonderful time we get to spend with one another very much!! Families are great :-)

**On Saturday we had our traditional Czech meal with the Palivoda's!! Pea soup, lima beans, mushrooms and other tasty treats :/ ... at least we celebrated the meal with homemade pierogi's at the end!! Yum, yum!!!

My mom and Aunt Monica in the kitchen scheming against the boys... maybe they are trying to plan out their next moves in Eurchre... better luck next time girls!!

Becky helping her mom make the pierogi's. My favorite part of the meal... piergoi's and ketchup!! Don't knock it until you try it!

My beautiful mother and I

Of course the day had to entail some bit of wrestling... Josh taking down Beck!

**On Sunday, we then traveled to Meme and Darrell's. We had a wonderful meal and were able to enjoy the simplicity of the day together as a family.

It was wonderful to see my brother over the holiday break. We were only able to see each other for 3 days because of his wrestling schedule, but it is always nice to catch up and goof off with him. And of course I always have to impress him with my new wrestling moves... man, I miss the days when I could take him down!! He is much bigger than me now and makes beating him a little more difficult :)

The four grandchildren on my mom's side posing with our "Mem"!! I was able to spend a few extra days at Meme and Darrell's which was a great time to relax and enjoy the company of my grandparents... thanks for your hospitality!!
I love family!!
