So, all this happened ( Read more... )

Final day of our holiday celebrations was also quite lovely. I dragged Gramma out of bed around 8:15 this morning (if I don't, she is likely to sleep until 10:30 some days) and took her home to visit my parents for the morning and into the afternoon. Mom cooked a very tasty dinner of quiche and a glazed ham for us, and I managed to trick dad's ( Read more... )

Had a lovely family gathering at my aunt's today! I ate entirely too much, and I now have candy (from my brother), a new candle (also from my brother, or possibly my cousin. Either way, it works out well because now I don't have to buy a replacement for the one in my bathroom. :) ), a book of letters my grampa wrote home during World War II (from ( Read more... )

Went home to spent time with the parents this morning and this afternoon.

Happy Holidays everyone!

Friday, Dec 2 - Took Kristin along for a tree decorating party at JB's. We put geeky ornaments on his Christmas tree and had the Star Wars Holiday Special on in the background.
