Daddy's favorite Christmas with them was the time he had some vodka and took a few shots before we left. He was smiling, then fell asleep in a chair (think he was still smiling), and woke up and we went home. We usually went to his Mom's for thanksgiving, 4 hour drive but way better company! Still working on my next FWM post, might hang onto her even after it is done since I probably won't get to go visit the family this year as I am likely not getting over this stupid plague in time, she can have dinner with me =)!The Microblogologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12259187351177996677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115679628400900738.post-13118827375157239722008-11-23T02:53:00.000-08:002008-11-23T02:53:00.000-08:00@ BadMomma ~ I look forward to hearing about it.@ ...@ BadMomma ~ I look forward to hearing about it.<BR/><BR/>@ Warn ~ it's my pleasure.<BR/><BR/>@ Melisa ~ I love Brazilian Steakhouses.<BR/><BR/>@ Terri ~ That's a smart rule.<BR/><BR/>@ Melissa ~ Yeah, there are secret cameras.<BR/><BR/>@ Mike ~ It's a great tradition, and a wonderful way to start the day.<BR/><BR/>@ Captain ~ I am glad gas prices have dropped for you.<BR/><BR/>@ Mrs4444 ~ If there is music on my blog, it's news to me.

I just have the morons and the clueless. The best I've heard so far is that one aunt and uncle want my parents to reimburse them for the gas to drive to my parents' house. I suggested my parents give them a bill for the dinner.
