Oh What A Night..

So we made the trek down south for the holiday, and here we are. We left home around 845 Saturday morning, and arrived at the in-laws house around 1215 or so. The cats came with us, as the wife didn't want to leave them alone in the house for the time we're away, so the first 30 minutes or so of the trip was filled with a chorus of meows. After a bit, they settled down and were quiet for pretty much the rest of the trip. When we drive down, we listen to stand up comics on the iPod, and we listened to a hilarious one this trip (a Christopher Titus routine, my cheeks hurt from laughing so much!)
Yesterday, we went over my aunt's house for a family party. We only stayed a couple of hours (we'll be seeing most of the people there on xmas anyway), but it was great seeing everyone. I really love the holidays, getting to see and spend some quality time with all our friends and family is really what its all about. After lots of food and lots of laughs, we headed out to Southie to see some friends.
And what a night it turned out to be. Lots and lots of laughs with Phil & Sue plus some good food and a couple of drinks makes a great night. After a bit, Loren showed up, and had some news to share... she got ENGAGED!!!! So a HUUUUUGE congratulations to Brian and Loren! Lucky for her, we all really like Brian :) The night was a lot of fun, and the misses and I headed out around 9 or so...
After the bar, we had to make a quick stop at Target. We forgot our pillows at home, so we had to pick some up. The pillows on the bed we sleep in at the in-laws really just don't cut it. (this will seriously cut into the tip I leave for the help) Thanks to the wife and her constant sniffling, I got a solid 3 hours of sleep last night. Dontcha just love cold and flu season.
Not much going on today, but we're meeting some friends for dinner tonight, then a busy couple of days ahead of us. All the shopping is done, so we don't have to go anywhere near a mall, which is nice.
To everyone we won't get to see before the holiday, have a Merry Christmas, and hopefully we'll catch up soon :)

I cannot believe you went to Target after the Playwright last week... too funny. And I wish you took us with you when you left... we stayed way too long. ;) It was great to see you guys!
