Okay...the Ugly Christmas Sweater was a hit, and my home looks like "Tink" was chased around with a fly swatter! I left a trail of glitter like Hansel and Gretel's breadcrumbs from here to Plainfield and back! And don't even ask about the back of Tina's car!
Loved seeing everybody again...and after the holidays you'll all have to come out here (in small bunches). Get to know each other better individually. Faith, I love love love the purple hair!
Loved Chris' hat which simply read
"Your Sweater is UGLY"
My sister, Tina's, sweater which had a Cat theme...and her husband, Chad, who embraced the current trend with a Star-wars Theme.
Excited for Chris and Gang who are going to view the new one after it opens at the IMAX. That should be something!
My Brother, David, and wife, Charlene, also made it with Shelby And Faith. Although they missed the memo about the sweaters.
All in all we spanned two long tables and numbered 16. And half the family didn't even make it! James and Nicole and the kids (all the kids together in one bunch) were home. Toesha and family were at the cheer-leading contest (Alexis and Tessa were just too cute). Neil and Family couldn't make it...Mikey and Jody and Lisa were missing as well. We will all catch up in 2016, though.
Nicole did a wonderful thing and finally got a photo of all my grands together in a pile...maybe for the first time EVER.
So thrilled!!!!
And the weekend for them was Happy Chaos!
So...ready to take the entire week before Christmas Off. No social obligations scheduled. Nothing planned but complete relaxation, gift wrapping, and fudge/cookie making and baking. Sip hot cocoa...hope it snows before next week...enjoy candle lit bubble baths and read.
Yeah..Social was all last week...and will continue next week, and the week after Christmas. When Judy, Sharon, Loretta and I,are planning our Post-Chistmas Pizza Brunch.
This is MY Week.
If it actually works, I may schedule the week before Christmas off every year!
Today has been very relaxing...and needed!
More anon...
The Ugly Sweater (which has been immediately wrapped in a plastic bag to prevent further star glitter-bomb.) It is going to be added to yearly, now. And probably used as a wall hanging during Christmas!
Another item off the Bucket List.
Now off to clean up more damned glitter!
