Family Holidays


tra-di-tion

Pronunciation: \trǝ–‘di-shǝn\

n: an inherited, established, or customary pattern of thought, action, or behavior

When it comes to celebrating Easter with my family, several guaranteed practices come to mind:

* We indulge in kielbasa and potato salad

* There are (losing) lottery tickets under every plate

* We engage in a battle of wits with a challenging game (our new fave is Apples to Apples)

* And following pigging out, one (or more) of the menfolk manage to literally lay claim to any available sofa, over-sized chair or floor space

Don’t be too embarrassed for my brother Kev … he looks much worse (usually snoring AND drooling) following Thanksgiving dinner!

A minor correction...I actually won $2 on my lottery ticket.

And we've discovered that Caleb called kielbasa, que pasa.

Gotta love traditions! I haven't seen Kevin in years. Hhhmmm ... he looks just like he did in Mr. Trimble's science class! (Kidding - I was most likely the one asleep.)
