Boxing Day

A nice relaxing Christmas is over and I got an early head start back to peg city since it was Scott's last day in town.
We hit up Ta Ke, or however it's written down, for sushi before goin out. Fat Mat got a fuckin party platter when his order came up. Almost tipped 70 bucks...
On display
This was my meal, not quite as big...
Five minutes after the party platter was cracked open.
Sarde came over and we all shredded GH3 for a while before headin over to Nathan's place.
The usual out of town or not around town very often suspects all showed up.
Hammer Time.
The face made after yellin JEW FRO!
Sarde...since it might be hard to tell.
What a darling couple.
Not so much.
I was wearing the kinda hat that made people wanna take it off and try it on for themselves.
We all bounced from Nathan's and went to the Pyramid for the Box Party. My hat made it's rounds here as well. Danielle stole my hat and put it on a cute girl.
Then the party machine gave it a whirl.
What's up Smitty?
I have to be on a plane in five hours...
The ugly camera kinda made up for it with this pic...somewhat.
beards = secrets
Dan in his natural habitat...
Winchie in fine form.
Nate bringin it with a blogger cameo
Classic.
Hendo showed up and got in wherever he could.
A couple girls I never see...so take it in while you can.
Made me laugh...so you should too.
It was about this time that everyone got a ride home. Seeing Scott for a bit was a good time and I'll have to wait till Feb for it to happen again now. Get to hang out with Tara since she took the long flight, always nice. Back to work in the morning.

Christmas At Home

So Christmas time has come once again and I stayed up way to late the few days before and the drive home after a half day of work was something else. I got home just in time to get to my aunt's place for xmas eve dinner. I'm just gonna show what really makes christmas. When you see the little guys opening gifts and having fun...it's just a nice relaxing time.
Braxton and Jordan just howling...
Jasmine wanted in on the fun and she even got a few presents. She also gave some away...surprising that a cat can write so legibly.
Hannah, sound asleep.
The necessary photo op of me holding a kid...
Christmas day was at my parent's house this year...so no extra driving made that pretty amazing. Once again, the xmas cuteness wins out. Lexi standing next to the tree.
Handin out some cookies to everyone...a cameo appearance by mom in the background...guess which one.
Before I go on, there are two things that you need to know. First, you can't make better perogies than my baba.
Second, you can't eat more of anything than this man.
A trip home wouldn't be the same without hangin out with the cats and showin you how they're growin up.
Proud mama
All the little guys in their chair.
Christmas trees and jeans to close it.
This time at home was just what I needed. Actually got some sleep and relaxed a ton. Hope you had a great holiday as well. Back to Winnipeg for boxing day and hangin out all night.

FUN and Gifts

Scott returned to Winnipeg for the first time since he set up shop in TO. Luckily it got cold again as a nice little welcome back to Winnipeg.
The kid needed a ride from the airport so myself, Sarde
Fat Mat
and Casey
met him there and brought the party to fat mat's place. It was a nice chill evening that ended a little early since I have to get up early for a work and then a solo mission home for the holidays. Mentioning that, I got a few gifts sent my way today. Puddy and Rachel hooked it up and got me a classic book and a delicious choc mint combo, respectively. They are both on a little taste of Egypt. I am pretty excited to get into both of these gems. Scott got me this GDFT shirt, nothing like gettin company gifts for your friends. He basically saved me money so it's the goodness.
Now it's time for the gifts I got for myself but only got them when friends from Van city and TO got here. I had to pick up Bruce and Sally from the train station today but they were delayed by approx 8 hours. Then we were lucky enough to wait another hour and a half just to get their bags. VIA does not sound like an efficient way to travel...but it could scenic through the mountains...still not worth it. We grabbed some food and then I took them to where they needed to be. It was then that I got this little treat that was purchased about a month ago. I like them way more than I thought I would.
Once again the GDFT hook up came through and Scott brought me home a new fitted and a new St. A beanie. The collection will make it's way on here soon enough.
There was also a Supreme hat as well...but I think you may have seen it make more than one appearance. Well it's time to get out of da net zone for a couple days and enjoy the quiet life. Expect to see some kitties and maybe more presents and hopefully other fun stuff. Have a safe and happy holiday season.
