Reunion

On Sunday we went to a family reunion at Gona and Baca's house. There we got to meet lots of family from Edna's side (Mowrers.) Her brothers children and their children were in attendance. We snacked on finger foods and mingled. McKenna took just an hour nap for the entire day (she was a tired girl that night.) There were fabulous door prizes; I took home a Christmas ornament and fan from China. Gona also bought what seemed like hundreds of those goofy glasses with plastic noses and mustaches. Everyone wore one (including McKenna) for pictures. As soon as I receive the photo I will post it. Poor Kade scalded his tongue on hot cocoa. After layering on a mound of marshmallows and whipped cream, there was no way to tell how hot it was. He actually got blisters in his mouth from it! I've had that happen from soup before - no fun!

Work is becoming more crazy as the days go by. It seems that many people have lost the sense of what Christmas is supposed to be. Everyone hustling, spending money, arguing over prices, or items in stock. I wish I could put it in perspective for them.......sigh.

We are counting down the days until we get to see gramma and grampa rue. Less than two weeks left and we can hardly wait! I shipped a few packages of presents home. I ordered one for my mom and had it shipped UPS. Because I was hurrying to submit the order, I transposed two numbers in our address. I shipped it in my name. When the UPS guy couldn't find the address I wrote, he accessed his database (who knows what is in there) and it told them that the resident had moved to Pullman! Somehow they (a) thought Brandi = Brandon and (b) thought it would be better to ship the package, hoping that it was me, rather than call me to verify the address. Silly UPS. Long story short - the package made it to Brandon in Pullman - guess he will bring it home when he comes home for Christmas!
