Christmas with the Millson's






Some Favourite Millson 2012 Christmas Memories:

• My awesome embroidered snowman tie shirt that mom made for me

• Receiving copious amounts of presents from the cats (aka Tad and Dixie) as well as gifts from “The Deer”

• Seeing a family devour an entire roomful of present in 5 minutes flat!

• Watching Parker’s permanent 50lb shadow follow him everywhere he went (aka ‘me’)… repeating incessantly ‘Parker, Park--er, PPPPARKER, Parker, ParKER!’…. to the annoyance of everyone but Parker who is extremely patient and wonderful with me

• How excited everyone was about Papa’s present of a dolly from Canadian Tire (or as grandma calls it - a fridge cart). Btw Grandma was the MOST excited about it

• Talking about all of Noodles’ last Christmases (she had about 6 of them and sumi had like 10)

• (for the adults) mimosa after delicious mimosa. And lots of Beer Store / LCBO-related gift card giving. Can’t go wrong, really

• The one spot at the dinner table where you get wedged up against the china cabinet. Normally mom gets this seat, but this year Aunt Jody took one for the team

• The long family line-up to talk to Aunt Erica and Uncle Kenny on skype (they had to get up in the middle of the night to participate in the family christmas – also taking one for the team)

• Wearing my Grandma’s snow pants to play outside with Parker and Brooke which, not surprisingly, fit me perfectly

• Watching Papa John open presents that he bought for himself and acting so surprised and delighted when receiving them

It's a bunch of fun when we all get together!!! Love it!!! can't wait till next year!!and the fridge cart...we used it to take all the Christmas decorations down stairs! It will be very useful..everyone needs one. What did we do without it? and I love my new scarf, the Sephora makeup, my Ferrero Rocher (which I don't share!)and all the other wonderful gifts and memories. I have shown all the photos that your Dad put together from past events to everyone who has come through the door. Miss you all!!!
