Nope, The Stedster stayed home
I wouldn't DARE bring him over to OUR family Christmases! LOL - they are very loud, crazy, and chaotic! We have ALOT of people in my family (including ALOT of kids) and I don't know HOW many things got knocked over - pictures got knocked off the wall, kids crying because
"she did this to him - and he did this to her" - NOPE - never, never, NEVER!!! I could have predicted it - Stedman would have been squished.
BUT OF COURSE - the first thing when I walk in - "WHERE'S STEDMAN??? WHY DIDN'T YOU BRING STEDMAN??? OH, YOU SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT STEDMAN!!!" - nope
Noooo thanks!
My husband and I do our own little "Christmas" here at the house, by ourselves, in our cozy home, WITH Stedman
on Christmas Eve. We all opened our presents together and played Christmas music by the fire - it was nice...and Stedman really enjoyed it (especially his new Bully Stick
) And of course when we went to be with the entire family on Christmas day - we made sure to leave Stedman lotsa toys, his new chair that he LOVES, and of course
"A Christmas Story" on t.v. to make sure that he was still in the Christmas Spirit when we returned home
Gotta leave him a Christmas move on to watch! LOL
