It was! Of course this is the week we'd decided to go thirty minutes out of town for church. And we won't really have another chance for that before Christmas. So instead of sleeping in sensibly until eleven and getting to a noon service, we're up at 8.
Then again the puppies whould have needed to be up no matter. They were awfully good boys and let us sleep in an hour and a half. And they were good last night. We let them stay and visit while the first two guys were here but when the five younger people arrived and the real partying started, they went away.
It was a great time. We have not had more than one other person at a time over since we were married and really entertaining was fun. I made a plate of one-pan magic cookie bars and a gazillion shrimp wontons and they went fast.
The family stuff sounds like a drag. I am glad there aren't a lot of weirdness in my family yet. Give it ten years though....
