Last night my Mom’s Dad and his wife came over as well as my mom’s brother and his family. It was pretty uneventful but nice. I always forget I actually am getting presents when we have these get-togethers. I got some money which I was quite happy with.
Today we are having my Mom’s Mom’s side with her uncle and brother and sister and family. We’ve had a really good time. The funny thing is the highlight of the whole afternoon is my grandmother got a blood pressure checker and every single person got their blood pressure checked. Everything from “Oh, you’re in good shape” to “That is not good. You need to get that checked.” to “Have you been taking her medicine?” It was really quite entertaining. I’m afraid my cousin’s girlfriend was a little confused why we were so entertained. I guess another clue that we’re all getting old…
I got very “Amy” gifts today. I got a cooling mat for my laptop and a DVD/CD cleaner machine and a brown and pink jogging suit that is very cute and then some gift cards.
Tonight we have our last get-together before heading out tomorrow. Heather is already hiding in her bedroom and I’ve reverted back to the laptop. The kids are playing with their toys and the adults are huddled in the kitchen talking. Yep, it’s definitely Christmas.
