Greg was ecstatic that we were able to spend Christmas with his extended family this year. I must admit that I had fun with them too. We drove to Ft. Lauderdale Christmas Eve and it was nice to wake up Christmas morning to a home cooked meal. Greg's mom made fried fish with dumplings (Jamaican style) and we also had ham with bread and eggnog with our coffee and tea. There was a little breeze outside so they set up the table on the patio. It was nicely decorated with a Christmas tablecloth. After we ate breakfast we opened the gifts and the kids got a lot of gifts. They are on cloud 9, especially Adryana. We are so blessed and we have to always remember to give God thanks so Thank you God!!!
For Thanksgiving I struggled with not being with family. My parents are in Jamaica right now and so I will not see them until sometime in January. This is the third year that they've been gone for Christmas. Anyways, it was still nice to be around my husband's family who are now my family. We actually went to 2 Christmas dinners. Imagine that!!
The first one was set up outside and the food was served buffet style. It was delicious. We literally ate and left though because we had to go to the other dinner. The second dinner was with Greg's father's side of the family. We had a lot of fun with them. They were already eating dinner when we arrived but we weren't hungry so I just had some eggnog. I had a little dinner later and also had some desserts. After dinner they played some games and we had fun playing the games too. It was awesome and really nice to be with family for this holiday. I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and I wish you a Happy New Year!!
