Day 124 (12/27 - Sun)

Today was the big day for our extended family Christmas celebration. (In my family, doing things with "extended family" pretty much means my mom's side of the family, as my dad's side is scattered all over) I missed the last three for a variety of reasons, but I was happy to be here this year -- one side affect of missing for a few years is that my cousins' various children suddenly jumped to be 4 years older, which was quite a surprise. Oh, and I got to chat with my fun relatives and catch up, giving college advice to my second cousin who is attending Creighton now or learning about creating homebrew vanilla extract from my cousin Diana.



She's excited about vanilla! A good time of family being together.
