Christmas eve day.
Arrive in Bakersfield at 1:30pm.
Eat. (The most important part) (Of course, after I hugged everyone and their mother)
Sing and goof around. (My auntie provided the entertainment of goof around-she fell back against the chair she was sitting and was conveniently caught by the plant and the wall.) Needless to say, only 2 precious souls tried to help her get up while the rest of us were stuck cackling in our seats.
Ugly sweater contest. (New tradition)
White Elephant Gift Exchange.
We hit a lull. It felt like it was 10 pm. It was barely 6:30 pm.
We were soon revived with Pinta time. (New tradition)
**Notice some knee stains?
Gift Opening.
To be continued…
