Family Fun

Last night we went to Palouse for the annual Christmas gathering with my husbands family. It was alot of fun. Everybody pretty much was there and we had a really good time. Even Derek made it over who is my husbands cousin. He lives in Bellingham and works as a landscaper. He's a cutie and fun to talk to as well. All the kids were there running around and wrecking havoc with everybody and everything they could possible get thier little hands on. Magically though nobody had a melt down until the very end when people were starting to leave. Lars was just so dissappointed it was over that he ran through the house crying his little head off! Pretty funny really. It was pleasant to just eat and talk and eat and talk with everyone. Then when we got back to Spokane, we went over to our friends Leslie and Shawns for a little Christmas party they were having. Pretty cool as they had turn tables set up and homemade wine was flowing freely. We even got a bottle to take home with us. Cherry flavor....While I was doing a little shopping yesterday I picked up a chunk of Citrine for some reason. I just saw it and thought, I need to have that. Then when I got home Leslie had made me this totally cool necklace as a gift. I was so not expecting it which made it even better so when we went to the party, I gave her the citrine. She really seemed to like it so I guess it was meant for her. Anyway, have to go get ready to head up to my Mom's which should also be fun. I will post more on that later.....
