A highlight for me was our rummy game. When we get together and have time, we'll play what we call a "sanctioned" rummy game, which involves the winner of the night taking home "the mouse." The mouse (see pic) has been in the family for years now...bought him in Florida at some seafood restaurant(why a seafood restaurant would sell such merchandise I don't know)...but it seemed to be a good trophy. The game on Friday night took a turn of weirdness and of giddy laughter. Typically we each would have a "trinket" piece with us while we played...again, just something goofy. But Friday it turned into different kinds of head wear while we played. That may esplain some of the pics with odd sorts of "hats." In the end...mom won the mouse and will proudly display it in her home until the next sanctioned game.
The fellas stayed up late playing some Halo 3...we all slept in a bit Saturday morning and then went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast...came back to the house for more "hanging out."
I love my family...I love spending time with them...that's a huge part of Christmas for me.

The trophy is still creepy and it keeps staring at me.
