Family xmas

Had the family xmas at my Mom's house today, with aunts, uncles, and cousins. Last one in the house before Mom moves out. My sister's family and an aunt could not attend from the snowstorm hitting their area. We ate a yummy dinner, watched my youngest nice open her presents. I already gave her a candy cane for her xmas gift, but sister thought she would question why everybody else was giving her clothes and toys except me. So she took money from her mother-in-law and put some pet shop toys with my name on it under the tree. Then we watched a slide show on TV from my great-aunt of pics from the 1930's and 40's. We tried to play Whoville monopoly but too advanced for my niece to keep attention to. We chatted for hoursand then packed up food to take home. My sister is a step away from adopting from China and collect my new nephew in the spring. They just have to finalize their paperwork and travel plans. She took lots of pics and planned a care package to send to him. I'm getting a nephew, I'm getting a nephew!! Now back home and gave Precious a 5 minute walk. It is 3 degrees outside. Out of things to talk about. Later.
