Partying With The PROGENY

AND, A NEW "BABY" FOR THE *NEW* BABY!


"MARSHMELLOW" - Done in MILKGLASS, BUNNYBLU, PALEYELLOW, and IVORY

I *Began* working on THIS in MAY! - [SEE 22MAY2011 POST] - Then, Continued once more in JULY.
The Border still was in need of *Doing*. I accomplished THAT, Last Night... I would have "Liked"
to have Taken *better* Pics, however, I was under a Time-Restraint to get IT Packed & "Presented"
to CPL. TAT-MOM.

So...Seeing as just over Half of THE FAMILY was "IN-The-AREA" for once, an EARLY-CHRISTMAS-DINNER was Decided upon for TODAY! And, at the "Halfway" Location of THE PRINCESSES - They're
in a Nice, *New* House now...

BIG-D and THE PRINCESSES' MOM - [Who will Now be Referred to as "*NEW*-AUNTIE-MOM"] - picked Us up in the Early Afternoon for the Lengthy Drive, in the GIFT-Stuffed-Not-So-Spacious-With-5-Adults-SUV...

The "SCARY" Part... The WEATHER was FREAKING GORGEOUS!! ..okay...maybe there was a little Wind...




CPL. TAT-MOM, HOCKEY-DAD, and CADET-JUNIOR were already There...

Compared to LITTLE PRINCESS BIG-RED, He's such a "Little" GUY! - HE was 7-pounds-13-ounces.
SHE was 10-pounds-2-ounces... And, at 13-Months, She's over 30-pounds now!! ..With a Cold,
Toddling around constantly...

Anyhoo... It was a LONG, yet Pleasant Day getting to spend Time WITH *ALL* of The KIDS!

  • Getting LITTLE PRINCESS BIG-RED to stay "Focused" on Opening Her Gifts.
  • Watching THE MEN - [BIG-D, HOCKEY-DAD, TAP-MAN] - attempting the "Assembly" of One of Said Gifts... [You'd think that IT was from IKEA or something..!?]
  • Trying to get *NEW*-AUNTIE-MOM to Let Everyone ELSE "hold" CADET-JUNIOR!
  • CPL. TAT-MOM "resting-up" while THEY do...
  • MOTHER and SISTER making like the Paparazzi!
  • FATHER trying to Figure out "how" to Open His Gifts without actually "ripping" Anything.
  • PRINCESS PRE-TEEN actually "Surprised" at receiving My "Vampire" BARBIE Present.
  • ME, wishing that Someone would have Given Me a "KOBO" when I was 11! -- However, the RHINO Things that I *did* get were pretty COOL!!

I'm glad that We brought My Folding-Table-In-A-Bag... [SEE 03SEP2011 POST] - Was so much EASIER than That TOY to put together! -- Although, a few TV-TABLES might have been *better*. Then again, IF We had Any, there wouldn't have been "room" in the SUV!

Meanwhile, I hope Everyone ELSE didn't get Their "BAGS" of STUFF mixed-up..? -- I managed to keep Our Gifts piled away from the Others' that had been placed in another Room... They all start to Look *alike* after a while!

Oh. Look! We brought Home LESS "Volume" of Stuff than What We GAVE out! -- And, SISTER came
along on the Return Trip to retrieve "more" Stuff that She'd left Here during Her previous Visit...

YAY! SPACE!!

Anyway, She and BIG-D leave for Home, Tomorrow... At least, THAT's "The PLAN"..? But, Who KNOWS??!
