Family Gatherings

Our family has been blessed with an amazingly large family tree. So every year we have at least four separate family gatherings to celebrate Christmas (usually before, during, and after). This year we had an early Christmas dinner on December 22nd at Tim's with Tom & Geege (Tim's parents), Caitlin & Billy, Darcy (Tim's sis), and Tommy (Darcy's son).

After the gifts had been opened and Maddy was no longer interested in Lilly she quickly grabbed the stem of my wine glass sitting on the coffee table and threw it to the ground. The wine splashed and the glass shattered. I was horrified. It was as if it was in slow motion. I was sitting right there, and I saw her grab the glass, but I just couldn't stop it from smashing to the ground. Thank you Billy and Caitlin for helping me clean up the mess!
