We started out the day on a quite note (didn't necessarily stay that way), I got up and went to breakfast with Jason and "the boys". That's right I CRASHED BREAKFAST!!! Nothing like CFA biscuit @ 7am...YUMMM! "THE BOYS" went on to play racquetball while I ventured into Wal-Mart to tend to some last minute details (that I confess, I nearly forgot about). Frantic phone call from Jason saying that I may need to come look at his nose as it may be broke...he decided that it was okay to continue to play and then come home. Meanwhile, I went ahead and got ready anticipating an early departure for Dahlonega....with a detour at NGMC along the way.
So as anticipated when Jason got home with some of "the boys" I determined that yes, indeed his nose is broke and needs surgi-glue for the open wound on the bridge of his nose. Miraculously we were in and out of the ED in under 2 hours!! WAHOOOO that is quite a feat all on it's own!
Just a minor hiccup in the day really and we are thankful for that, truely! Of course the teasing that will go on between him and "the boys" will be relentless, but all in good fun. I confess that I'm a little jealous that they are all still such really good friends after so many years (upwards of 15 years).
We made it to Dahlonega only 22min late ;) It was great to be able to walk in and immediately start eating some YUMMMMYYYYY food. We had ham (and a ham it was, something like 30lbs), mashed potatoes, biscuits, coleslaw, deviled eggs, and I believe cranberries were there as well. All very good. Got to start bringing a veggie to the table whenever we all get together. I guess it's because I'm concious of what we eat all the time that lately I've noticed that we always have a high carb meal while we are there. Nonetheless, dinner was delish.
Present time, present time, open it up and see what's inside! The kids love to see what they have gotten (of course), but they enjoy seeing what everyone else got as well and seeing the reactions fo what we got for everyone as well. Morgan received the rug, and chair she asked for (truthfully she probably got something else too, I just haven't seen it). Madyson received her Pandora bracelet and is EXTREMELY happy (she almost cried) she also got a Vera Bradley wallet. Meredith got her sewing machine and some sewing materials, she is thrilled. LOL...I'm not even sure what Jason opened, we did it a little different this year where everyone opened their presents at the same time...a little chaotic, but it worked. I received some workout clothes and pjs!!!
We had a great visit with Mimi, Pappy, Adrianne, Brent, Hunter, and Tucker...but we had to get home to tend to Isabelle who was very hungry when we got home. And just in time to make cookies for Santa! Yippeee, who doesn't like cookies for Santa...apparently Jason and Madyson! They both boycotted my cookies that I made tonight. No biggie, more for me...I mean Santa!
All in all a great day full of memories! That is what it is all about.
