so. christmas.

we had christmas eve over at my parents house last week. brought both dogs, who were mostly very well behaved. they didn't eat anything inappropriate, and they didn't break anything. whew. we left pirate there for the weekend, so she could play with coco while we were gone. i got many cool things, and i managed to get a few things for my family that were right on. yay! back home for the evening, with the josie dog. josie was very confused about why pirate wasn't with us.

christmas day, off to nathan's parents, in austin. everyone showed up; parents, older sister, younger sister, brother, sister-in-law, two nephews, three dogs, two cats. whew. the whole bunch of us had a good time. i vetoed getting pizza for dinner on the grounds that last time i'd had that pizza i had stomach flu right after. no good! lots of good sitting around and talking, and i crochetted a bunch. nearly done with k's afghan. whew!

in the morning, josie and nathan went off to the vet where josie was going to be staying the weekend. josie was a bit scared, but was a total trooper over the weekend, apparently. very happy to see me and my snausages on monday afternoon, however.

more about the weekend in new york city shortly.
