Bah Humbug

Thanks to the BLIZZARD of 2009 I didn't end up getting to go over to my mom and dad's for Christmas or the day after for that matter. Not until Sunday afternoon did we manage to get out.

Sunday afternoon we spent over at my parents house. All five of us kids was able to make. Thanks in no part to the snowplow that didn't go down grandpa's road...

It was a good afternoon. The kids played and us adults talked like regular human beings. No harsh words were shared or gag gifts given. On whole a rather successful Christmas.

Naturally no Christmas celebration is complete without the emergency vet visit. Hyde ran into something and punctured his eye on Sunday before we left for mom and dad's. My mom has worked for the vet clinic for 23 years and so she was able to get us in to the on-call doctor. Bonus: This visit was so so so much cheaper than our last e-vet visit that happened up here by the tune of around $300. A week of antibiotics and we should be good to go.

Monday the snowplow finally went by!!

We were so glad to see it finally!! Monday night we went over to Austin's grandma Elaine's and had another turkey supper with her and his Uncle Blaine and his girlfriend Ann.

After supper we headed home. I slept almost the whole way and it was so wonderful. I don't get to do that very often...

Now I have to get my butt ready to hit the road again. I leave tomorrow for mom and dad's for Christmas on my dad's side on Friday and then Sunday for my mom's side up at grandma Shirley's.

That means another 3+ hour drive with grump butt.
