It is a tradition in our family (a fairly new one) to hold Christmas in July at the vineyard. Because many of the relatives on my father's side live out of town and only come in the summer, we celebrate the holidays in July. This is something we ALL look so forward to now, especially the children. It is amazing how kids can become instant best friends even though they have not seen eachother in a year. I LOVE that about them. The setting is beautiful at my parents' house with the vineyard surrounding the house with the pool and a tent set up in the lawn. Lots of yummy food and LOTS of pictures. The worst part: DRAGGING the kids out of the pool when we are done. Man do they have fun.
This is the story of my life with my amazing husband and five of the most incredible gifts I have been given: my children. This was created as a tool for me to record and share all of the beautiful and funny memories of our family. It serves as an outlet for me to reflect on the day and various events. I consider this "therapeudic, " like a diary. I hope you love it as much as I do and find joy in the everyday events (and challenges) of a family of 7!
