Christams Eve Eve Mom went to NOLA to pick up Kristen! We spent the afternoon and early evening making dips and baking for Xmas Eve party (Will and Chris watched and ate Freakin' Chicken...whatever that is...looked disgusting). When I finished baking and decorating my homemade sugar cookies (that a five year old could have done a better job with), Will mentioned we should go to Southpaws in Prairieville to see Cam Pyle play. Yay! Way too many beers and Jager bombs but it was a blast. Struggling with a horrible hangover, we managed to make it back to Mom's to help her pull together the house for the in-and-out company for the Xmas Eve Open House party we have every year. We exchanged gifts with immediate family before any guests arrived. It is funny how you can tell alot about someone by the very similar gifts that everyone gives to one person...apparently I drink way too much coffee (CC's Gifts Cards (multiple) and a vintage Community Coffee canister, Mom drinks way too much wine (wine glasses, coffee table book on wine, and a bottle of wine from each of her offspring, and lastly...not that this is a shock to anyone...Rick is obsessed with LSU)! Overall it was a nice day and I enjoyed spending time with my family, especially my cousins who are always good for a make-your-stomach hurt laugh. I am leaving today to spend a few days in NOLA with Chris' family and will post holiday photos when I return. Merry Christmas everyone and Happy late birthday Natalie if you are still reading my much too boring blog!
