I hope everyone had a good Christmas. We did! Lucien & I got to see family, shoot fireworks, & relax. My Dad came & visited from Texas for Christmas. It's been a pleasant past 2 wks. My Mom & I are talking again. She called...we talked. It's a start.

My Dad got Lucien an electric guitar, art set, awesome guitar strap, harmonica, guitar pics, a tuner, a beginner's guide to drawing instructional book, & a book for playing the guitar. My Aunt Linda also got him an art set, & this one comes in a storage container. She also gave him a big bag full of toys, mostly different cars, trucks, spaceships, & robots. She gave me a nice wallet keychain, & my Dad gave me a portable laptop table & a beautiful wood wick candle. .

Eric's boss made a big bottle of wine for me. Nothing like some of David's moonshine at the holidays. Ha! I was going to drink it with my Dad, but he didn't like it. He gets his own wine when he's here.

Lance & Miri got Lucien a VTech laptop, & gave him Dakota & Seth's VSmile games, & their old TV, which is bigger than the one he had. We got him a Leap Frog Tag Reader. My Mom got him a safari explorer kit with real digging tools & a scope, & a small TV stand for his TV. John, Eric's Dad, got Lucien a big train activity table, & paid for us all to get pizza for dinner. Lance & Miri also gave us their standard white 1995 station wagon, & are letting us borrow all of their Brian Lumley books. My niece Caity (17) did the paint job on the car. Go Caity! The car is for me, & couldn't have come at a better time. Our truck is almost paid off. They got a new transmission for it, & fixed various other things first too. It's like a dream. Caity can make a banana pudding like nobody's business, as I recently found out.

I got a card from =evile33. ♥ That's right. I did, you didn't.

We shot fireworks off & shot a few games of pool, & found out that her son Hunner (17), which would be Eric's 2nd cousin, also plays WoW. I watched Resident Evil: Afterlife with Lance & Miri & Caity. I tried a new drink called Amaretto Sours with Miri. It was pretty good.
