Christmas with the Meanea's

On Saturday we traveled down to Central for the Meanea Christmas Party. We had a good time and good eats! We missed Joe and his family (but Kristin has to keep that bun in oven all nice and comfy. Come on baby girl!) We also missed all of the Willson's.

The cousins had a good time exchanging their gifts and we sure appreciated the gifts from mom and dad and the great grandparents.

Us siblings, a few years ago, decided that instead of spending money on gifts for each other that we would pool that money and have do a Christmas project, I think we've started calling it "Meanea Angel". One sibling per year takes charge and uses that money towards helping families, organizations, etc. (whatever they see fit in their community). This has turned out really well and we love it, now I mention this not to brag about what we do but as an idea what you may want to do in your own families.
