Had our party at the inlaws tonight... the gift exchange my generation did was pretty good all in all - my hubby and his two brothers, my soon to be sis inlaw and me... I had a blast putting together mine... I got my soontobesisinlaw... she's a coffee drinker. I have an obsession with the Cheshire cat... so, I did a themed basket - The Mad Hatter's UnTea Party... it was a lot of fun and hit the budget right on the line too.... The brother inlaw that drew my name - he may be the only person who realizes what a complete geek I am deep down... He got me a book on the worlds of StarTrek (and I swear I've never even threatened to wear Vulcan ears around him...). and then, to tease my sci-fi junkie side and my affinity for broadshouldered bald men and antiheros --- the chronicles of riddick trilogy.... yummy. Surprises me too as most times I think he's probably the person who knows me the least where really - he knows me much better than most... funny how that works out.
We go to my grandmother's house tomorrow - should be fun. I'm really looking forward to seeing my kidbrother. I don't get to see enough of him. I really don't. I find I miss him a lot - especially around the holidays when I get a bit more - mom-memory-heavy... Our mom was really big into christmas. Really big. the untea party would have been her idea if she were still around. Anyway - I'm really looking forward to it.
My dad and his wife are coming in on the 28th and I'm really looking forward to seeing them too. They came in for Wolverine's birth but I've really gotten used to having them here for New Years.
Hopefully sometime in the next few days I get back here to post... maybe tomorrow night seeing as how Hubby will still be working the midnight shift and wolverine seems to be really worn out by all this christmas stuff.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night. ;)
