Talk about a white Christmas...

We spent Christmas Day at my folks' place, along with some family friends, plus a handful of relatives from my mom's side - some Aunts and Uncles and several cousins from New Jersey. (yeah, yeah) If my sister and brother-in-law could have made it, it would have been like a reunion.

But as you know, weather wasn't too good. Most of the houseguests left for New York-slash-New Jersey at around five, hoping to beat the weather. My elder aunt and uncle, afraid of making the three-hour drive at night, decided to spend the night, along with my two cousins (their kids). The older ones stayed in the guest room and my room mate and I shared my old room with my cousins

Mom didn't have enough clean nightclothes to go around so my room mate, aunt and cousins were able to borrow from her, and I ended up borrowing a set of oversized pajamas from dad.

So I finally had a pajama party. Stories, video games (my old PS2 was still ok), popcorn, cookies, hot chocolate, but no playing with make-up, and the stories were mostly from me and Moe. My cousins couldn't help being curious about us (Me mostly - we weren't particularly close, but the last time they saw me, I was a boy, so they were understandably curious). But I knew something like this might happen, so I came prepared to tell my story (not all of it, of course). Anyway, they were more than nice, and we had a lot of fun. Well, I did, anyway.

So I finally had my slumber party. Sort of.

Ma's downstairs now, cooking a mess of left-over Christmas ham, fied eggs, jiffy-baked italian-style breakfast croissants (called cornettos) and home-style cappuccino (with Nestle powdered chocolate mix), so we can all have breakfast (or maybe brunch is more appropriate) before Uncle and the girls have to leave (they've decided to brave the snow before it becomes worse). Uncle is gonna top up their car's tank and ma's packing them munchies and hot chocolate just in case, and Moe n I are gonna leave as soon as we've seen 'em off. Hope Cricket behaves.

Anyway, hope you guys had a good day yesterday, and from the both of us to all of you - Merry Day-After-Christmas!

Nice to hear from you!

She's the only one with the extra-long sleeves, glasses and pet, after all ;-) Btw, Ricky, the family dog spent the night with us, too :-)

Wow

Quite an event... This white stuff... It's already almost to my knee in our front yard. (I had to break a path through the snow - for our samoyed - so the dog could get his walk. Nornally he's okay in the snow. But, he seems to slow down, when the snow's over his shoulders, can't imagine why.

Hope your family all got/get where they were going safely.

Anne

yup

They got home around 6pm, safe n sound. Thanks!

Can't imagine driving for six hours straight, myself.

Hope your doggie doesn't catch a cold.
