The 2022 Gathering

Today was the family get-together at the old house and it was nice, but Dave, Stacey, and Lucy were all sick and couldn't make it. The rest of us managed to have a good time but it was FaceTiming with our Miss Lucy that made the day for all. She was only wearing undies and a blanket because as she told us, "I was burning up." Everything she said was so sad but everyone kept smiling at her because she is so damn cute. 

The Christmas Crackers I picked up at the Irish shop in Rhode Island were a big hit with the kids!

Syd and Zach got matching red hats in theirs!

Chase had never played Mad Libs before and everyone had a blast coming up with silly and inappropriate words to add. My suggestions were urinating and nipple. 

Jax with his lil' pile of gifties from Nana Rose.

Syd and Zach both scored big with their own crisp one hundred dollar bill!

My gift to the shin-dig was a Peanut Butter Bomb Cake from Vegan Treats!

Here's that little sick sweetie, Lucy, on FaceTime.

No family gathering is complete with out me taking tons of selfies!

And lastly, here are Chase and Jackson, BFFs, in their snowman garb!
