Usually we do the whole Hollon Christmas in one weekend, but my sister's family came down with the stomach bug right before the weekend, so we delayed our immediate Hollon family get-together until the next weekend. All of our extended family was already set to attend though, so we still got together on Sunday to celebrate. My dad only has 1 sibling and he had 2 daughters (April is 2 years younger than me & Tiffany is 4 years younger). We all grew up on our family's land out in the country (which sounds so Little House on the Prairie), so April & Tiffany were like sisters to me. I love that we all still get together on the holidays and that we all have children around the same age.

The big highlight was the new zip line. Starting last year, my parents decided instead of getting the 3 oldest grandchildren each a big gift, they would buy a super big gift that they all could share & keep at Nana & Gran's, since they spend so much time there. Last year it was the trampoline. This year, it was a zip line. My dad & brother installed it the week before, so it would be ready for Christmas.

| Every time Jake would ride it, he would scream. Not because he was scared. He just likes a good excuse to scream. |
