Family Party

Dear Delysia,

The past couple of days have been so wonderful! I planned the family Christmas Party and it was a BLAST! I made games, food and drinks and we just had a good time. All of my family came except for my sisters husband and her son. The reason why, was because her son contracted hand, mouth and foot! It was bad and ugly. My sisters daughter also got it, but she didn't break out. Her immune system must be top notch to have killed the virus relatively well! But her brother, little Noah didn't have an immune system to fight it off that much. So my sister called me and told me that she wasn't going to be able to go to the Christmas Party! She called me a week before told me this. BUT, then a couple days before, her husband said that she could go with her daughter! So my sister came! Everyone one was there! I was so happy to hear that news!

My step-sister showed up with her husband. Her husband seemed a lot older than what he is. He is just a year younger than me. But he looked awful. She had foot surgery, so she was limping. But I was happy to see her be there. It has been several years since we've seen them.

Sniffles was happy to see us all in her grumpy way. She was mew mew mewing and purr purr purring and was growling when I was giving her kisses! That little poop! But when I let her go, she wanted to be pet! She is a poop! She doesn't want to be held or kissed, but she does want to be pet! She's so funny like that, and a turd! But I still love her, because she is my little girl! She mew mew mews and purr purr purrs! She doesn't purr very loud. My first kitty kitty, Molly purred really loud! But she wasn't so grumpy. Molly was like a part of the family. She loved us all, would go to bed with all of us and would purr really loud until we all went to sleep! She was my baby. I love animals. I am just like my mama, I love the animals!

We played a white elephant game where you had to unwrap your gift with oven mitts on. That was so much fun! While you were trying to unwrap your present, the rest of us are trying to roll the die to open the gift. If the person rolls doubles, then the person trying to get their present unwrapped, has to stop and they give up the oven mitts and the person that rolled the doubles get a try. While that is all happening, others are rolling the die, so you don't have a lot of time to get your present. Others can steal your present, if they want to. I had a lot of fun! We laughed and laughed and had a good ole time. Then the next game we played, was tipping over water balls with a tennis ball in a panty hose on your head! That was so much fun! Doing a winner and loser bracket was so much fun! I just loved being with my family and their babies!

We ate a lot of food, we had pretty dishes, mama prayed, we just enjoyed the moments together. Mama had a new puppy named Mickey! He is a biter and was trying to bite the kids, so Baby Phat had to hold him and so did mama! It was just nice to be with the family. Then we played pounce and Rat Bridge. Those games were really fun! The kids played with bubbles, puzzles and paint.

I was sad that mama had to go to work that night. But I was really happy that we had time with the family. I should have taken more pics, but I am glad that I planned it and that we had time to just soak up each others presence. Jacob started realigning our backs. Oh man, that felt so good. I was a little afraid, but he did a great job and helped me learn it. We all think that he should go to school as a Chiropractor! He was hesitant, but I think he should! He would do well with it. He doesn't want to be in debt, but I think that he should really think about it! I think it isn't formal school: having to take classes that have nothing to do with his major, he would just study the body and the back and do an internship! He could do it and we do amazing at it!

Driving home, I was hit by a car! It banged up my vehicle a little bit, but it's fine. I just need a new grill on the front and I'll be go.

I had a great time with my family! mew mew mews... and purr purr purrs...
