We had our cousins lunch and it was wonderful to see everyone. The food was good but the company was even better! They came at 11 and left a little after 4. We had a great time remembering all the holidays we were together when we were kids, and of course general catching up with each other's families. I feel so lucky to have my extended family, all who have known me at my best and my worst, and love me anyway.
In a perfect world we would see each other more often, but then it might not feel as special.
And tonight TheHub and I will eat lots of leftovers and watch a Christmas movie.
Amazon delivered the last packages I was waiting on from them, however I have one present for TheHub that is still AWOL. I ordered it quite a while ago and I have received updates that it had left England, but there has been radio silence since the 13th. I hope it comes before Christmas since it was TheHub's main gift from me, and I really don't want to get out this late in the season to hunt for something else.
Speaking of last minute shopping.This might be appropriate for any of you in a Christmas panic.
I love the cousin lunch! What a great tradition. And I'll cross my fingers for your parcel to arrive very soon.
ReplyDeleteIt was so nice to see everyone and there were a lot of laughs
DeleteYikes on the present! Hope it arrives soon! Cindy in the South
ReplyDeleteIt either will or it won't. I checked today and it seems to have landed in the states so maybe it will make it here.
DeleteYour cousins lunch sounds like a lovely holiday tradition. I do hope your husband's gift arrives in time for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed your cousin lunch. I'm sure it was a lot of fun. I hope the package arrives in time.
