It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt.....

This weekend we had the Ware family party. Phil's dad flew in from Hawaii and his sister, Amanda and her little boy, Mason came from Cali. We haven't seen Amanda since March when Mason was only 6 weeks old! He has grown so much and is quite the cutie. His big brown eyes are to die for and he has a wonderful smile. Grandma Dori took all the grand kids to see Santa out at the depot. They came home with a large loot and I couldn't help but think, is it Halloween or Christmas? Anyway, then the kids played at our house, we fed our faces full of yummy ham and goodies and even shoveled some snow!!(FINALLY) The kids started playing our original Nintendo (yes the 80s-90s version) and asked Aunt Karen to come and play with them. Well, I can't pass up a challenge, so down the stairs I went to compete in some Track and Field. So, I got on the mat, kicked some trashed, jumped up in the air, hands raised, when SMACK! Forgetting that the ceiling fan was turned on, I proceeded to try to amputate my left index finger. I will never again tell my kids that they will chop off their finger if they put it in a fan, because I proved that myth wrong. It turned pretty colors and got really swollen. The x-ray didn't show a clear break, so we don't know, but it HURTS! AFter my injury, Santa showed up to give some gifts and then we had a great time opening family presents. The kids loved it. It is a great tradition and I'm glad we got to be together as a family.
My lovely finger, the pic doesn't do it justice.
