At 4:30 I left for Dad & Ma's for the family gathering, and everyone was there except for Jackie (who had to work); and Judy & Rich came too.
Ma and Sarah cooked/prepared plates of cheese, meats and crackers and stuff, plus meatballs and dinner rolls. There were various pastries and candies for dessert, and coffee was available as well.
Drew loved the Celtics Funko Pop. Jared, Hayden & Audrey thought the electronic handwarmers were great. The twins loved the tapioca pearls and boba straws (make it yourself!), and Celia was happy with the fancy chopsticks. Ma liked her 3 gifts (wooden thumb tacks, Kopiko candy and a $25 gc to B&N), and Dad got a good laugh out of the potato stress balls. And I found out later that Jackie was pleased with the pom-pom topped Patriots winter hat.
Kevin's family got me a big tub of coffee, chocolates and a Mega Millions ticket.
Sarah's family got me a very fancy art pen & pencil set with a heavy stock paper pad and a leather carry case.
Dad & Ma got me a $100 bill, 2 sci-fi short story collections (Tom Jolly), a pair of green Vans, some Lindor chocolate balls, and a 4-bag sampler of the world's coffees from Nuts.com.
I drove Kevin & Drew home at 7:00 pm, and deposited the $100 bill at the ATM (haha). I went back and wound up staying until around 8:30, and was the last to leave. Plus I got leftovers! Such a fun night.
