I’m not talking football either!

We had our annual Family Cookie Swap last night. I’m not really sure if this is the 3rd or 4th year, but it’s so much fun so who really cares.

It was a really nice night. Good food – Thanks Dad - Great Conversation, and Awesome Baking! We went home with a ton of really good stuff. I missed Lisa, but will get to see her and Tim sometime after the 20th of December. That’s when they are flying home! Yah!

This year was was fun because we had a ton of gifts to give away. Enough for everyone to get one – YAH! So nobody went home empty handed! That was a first! Usually I only have a few, but Deb and Grandma contributed some as well. You guys are awesome!

I think the highlight of the evening was when the power went out, and it started to snow, and in the darkness we all held hands around a single candle and sang a moving rendition of “Silent Night!”

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! Plop! That’s me laughing my head off!

No, that didn’t actually happen! Well, the power did go out, and it did start to snow, and we lit a bazillion candles, but the moving rendition of “Silent Night” That did not happen! Would have been funny though!

I think the funniest part of the power outage was when my dad trots into his bedroom and comes out with 2 white pillar candles, and then goes back in and comes out again with 2 more, and then my mom heads in there and comes out with 2, and then my dad comes out again with another 2. Wow, I don’t even have that much mood lighting in my bed room! Way to go mom and dad! I know, You’re all grossing out, but come on – You have sex, they have sex, we have sex…….uh, maybe that’s heading into the too much information category. Do I even have a category called TMI? I don’t, well, I will when I’m done this post. Enough for now.

Let’s just say it was an awesome evening and leave it at that!
