Another night, another party. Last night was really fun, although we’re wiped out. We made it down to Tommy’s around 11 for an early Christmas celebration. He ordered up some lunch and we all hung out for a couple hours. The boys opened their presents and so did Lori as hers was really obvious as she told Tom what she wanted. It was a large, and I mean large, concrete planter. Tom and I saved ours for Christmas.
We made it home around 4 and had to get ready for our dinner party at 6. That means we had to leave at 5:30. We were pretty much on time and there were 12 of us in all. Marci cooked a prime rib roast and had Alaskan King crab to go with it. Dinner was great and we had a fun time. After dinner we played this crazy word game that was hilarious. Someone would pick a category and then everyone would write down one word that came to mind. You’d then put all the pieces of paper, with the one word, in a bowl, and whoever went first, would pick one, read it, and then try to guess who wrote it. If someone guessed correctly, the person who wrote it was out. If they guessed wrong, the person they guessed was then the one to guess. On and on this went until only one person was left. We played three rounds and the categories were drugs, sex apparatus’s (Gerry of course picked that, ha) and cars. It was super fun and funny. With 12 of us, it worked out great. Great people and fun times.
We made it home by 11 and tried to get to sleep by 11:30 but it was probably midnight. We’re up at 5:30am and leave at 6:30 to take Ty to work. Today I’m eating nothing and getting some sleep. We’ll wrap some last minute presents and get ready for tomorrow.
Jagger is cooking Peking Duck and has this duck sitting on a rack in the fridge resting or something. It looks like the duck out of the movie The Christmas Story, ha. We also have some wagyu beef steaks I ordered up for the boys as they wanted some for Christmas. Jag is a great cook but a horrible cleaner.
Ava finally made it to Portland after numerous delays. Her bag was rerouted so no telling when she got it. Snow is coming in tonight, but I think we’re going to miss the main blast. Cross your fingers.
That’s it, time to go. Have a great Christmas Eve Eve. We’ll talk soon, God Bless.
