This evening, after our neighborhood cookie exchange (which rocked, by the way!!), Carter and I met Zack, Stephanie and Isaac Alexander, and Andy and Rory at Outback for our yearly "family Christmas." The stomach flu's been circulating our house, with Carter being sick over the weekend and Andy and I catching it yesterday, so we were very low-key for the evening!
After dinner, baby talk and catching up, we headed to Andy and Rory's for children and doggie gifts and our adult gift stealing (where no stealing ever occurs). The doggies got some tasty treats (that nearly drove Moda nuts with just the scent!), and Carter and Isaac both got Big Wheels! Carter also received a couple great new puzzles and an Alexander-approved Frankenstein book (she's lugged the puzzles all over the house in the past 12 hours!). As for our adult exchange, Andy and I got game night all ready to go: Phase 10 Twist and a bottle of booze! Rory got an ice cream ball (that Carter is envious of!), Stephanie had a chopper that hubby Zack stole so she could steal Andy's Starbuck's gift card, leaving Andy with an Uppercase Living-like wall decal. Next year, I'm stealing just to steal!
Happy Holidays, Haning-Brown's and Alexander's! Thanks for coming up and braving the flu to visit, and sorry we weren't more fun - the flu kicked our tails this week! We could always do Jolly Holiday Lights!!!
Love ya, peeps!
