It's A...Family TRADITION!

This Sunday was our annual Lang Family Christmas Celebration with all of Ty's extended family; a roaring good time if you've never participated! Of course, by roaring I mean fun, but I'm also paying tribute to the volume level in my mother-in-law's house as it was unprecedented this year. Joey nearly had a heart attack trying to explain the new tradition of Lang Family Yankee Swap. Today's festivites included, but were NOT limited to the following:
  • Hilarious skits in which Corinne (Ty's aunt) actually played a Christmas carol on an accordian (no joke and it was good) and Cheri (Ty's other aunt) morphed into her sister Corinne...also many other fabulous portrayals of family members were done (shout out Dunckleys i.e. Chelsea, Melissa, and Zack!) BIG shout out on Bitty's troop offering us honest insight and hilarity and which also included:
  • A SURPRISE marriage proposal by Drewbie to his one and only: Morgan! He is my hero of the week...Congrats you two!
  • GOOD eats!
  • A stellar slideshow of Christmas' past which revealed that no matter how out there the outfit; NO Lang dresses to blend in...
  • Said Yankee Swap where, as predicted by yours truly, Ty's present bombed out and was passed from person to person where it finally ended up with Grandpa Lang; it's rightful owner.
  • Pea toppled a chair and fell while standing on it, but was unhurt!
  • Amazing prayer for Tony Lombardo (Ty's cousin) who is undergoing chemo at this time. If you think of him, please let that prayer come from your mouth to God's ear; we believe in his COMPLETE healing!
  • Retelling of the wonderful Christmas story...
A REALLY great day and evening filled with laughter and love...can't wait until next year where Tyler will redeem himself at Yankee Swap, I can drink wine, and Harper will be joining us! Merry Christmas Langs!
