A Little Christmas Dress Rehearsal at Little America...

T'was the weekend before Christmas and all through the house,
Every suitcase was full of swim trunks and kid chow. 
The white elephant gifts were tucked in the trunk
And we hoped Grandpa hooky with a new goldfish would get stuck.
(Why yes we did gift a live goldfish and a toilet seat #winning)
When we arrived at the hotel we saw with delight
All our cousins were there to spend a Christmasy night.
We posed for family pictures in the freezing cold air
Then walked to the restaurant for halibut and rolls to share.
In the pool - how we dominated...
The kids were so merry
We knew in a short amount of time
The other guests were hoping we'd make ourselves nary.
The white elephant gifts - oh how they sparkled!
How they left our hearts glad
Except for Havenator
She was sad.
Then off to the hotel rooms to sleep barely a wink
Six folks, two queen beds and Mom in the sink (fine the tub)
We arose and got dressed for the big Santa buffet
And everyone guffawed at our receipts with dismay
The smorgasbord we passed on the way to our spot
Made us realize the brunch was magical even if the prices were not
With crab legs and prime rib piled high on their plates
Every dude's heart grow three sizes that day.
The kids visited with Santa
He gave them a treat
And even Grandma & Grandpa took a seat
It was an epic party - not soon to be topped.
And with all that rhyming I'll now try to stop.
WHEW!
Thanks for the epic Christmas weekend, Albrecht fam.  
We'll keep y'all.  :)
