Did You All Enjoy Your Christmas?

[DianaB]

We have another party tonight with Glen's family (The Baker side!!). It's at my BIL's house and it's just around the corner from us so we don't have to drive far!! It will be a good time with LOTS of family there!!!

Glen's Mom is in the hospital in Nebraska where his sister, Brenda, lives so they won't be there. His Mom's not doing very well so we'll probably end up going to visit her soon. She's been going down hill for some time now. I'm not sure that she can live alone much longer so the family's going to have to make some decisions soon but I've thought that for some time......so we'll just have to see what happens.

We have another party on Saturday with my family. My brother and his family will be here with my Mom and Step-Dad along with my own family. We don't exchange gifts but Mom buys for the kids. Mom's wanting to order PIZZA!!! I think that's so funny!!! We'll see.......it will cost a lot to do that but would be sooooo easy!!!! My brother's family never brings anything to help out food-wise......it seems like it's all they can do to just get here!!!!! Oh well.......I'm complaining and I shouldn't be.

We had a great day

We went to my husbands grandmothers for dinner and to exchange gifts. Of course, my mother in law wasn't present because she still has a hair across her butt.
I contributed home made mac and cheese, green bean casserole, chocolate chip walnut cookies and an apple streusel cheesecake (I was up baking all night the night before because hubbys aunt invited us over and we stayed later than I'd expected!)
Then we were off to my parents where my youngest sister and her kids were to exchange gifts there too... then we went out to the bar with two of my in laws where it was buy one get one drink night and I got a leeeeeeeeettle tipsy on 6 very strong margaritas
It was really neat because Brad saw a guy he went to high school with and hadn't seen in about 7 years.

I'm glad everyone had such lovely days with loved ones! Here's to the New Year!
What are everyones plans for News Years Eve? We should be going to my father in laws, probably bring Christmas gifts. They have a big celebration, Turkish people are so much fun
