All Together Now

The weirdest thing happened yesterday. I got all three of my kids and all five of my grands in the same place. It's been ages. 

We had a delayed Christmas so we could all celebrate together. 

There was one wee one that none of us had even met before. 

There was two January birthdays to celebrate and six December birthdays to catch up on. 

We had cookies. DIL had made us some of her beauties. 

Oldest Son brought his prime rib roast. I heard it was good. I can't even look at it. I wouldn't think of eating it. 

Daughter and SIL made the sides.

We had pie. It was supposed to be my present but this is all I came home with because it was so good. It's from Sister Pie in Detroit and their Salted Maple is legendary. 

And...........look what I came home with. Barbie times five. Daughter's adult skating student is a doll designer who works with Barbie and the American Girl doll companies and he loads her up with the samples he gets sent for approval. She usually donates them but I couldn't help but bring these home. I know, I'm 70, too old for playing with dolls but people...I can't wait to open these boxes and get these dolls out. I felt like a kid again. While we were driving home I was searching the internet for storage options and more clothes. Do they need a Dream House? I know I need at least one bridal gown. Crazy, right?
