we had our family christmas celebration at my parents' house on christmas eve so our brothers can spend christmas with their in-laws'. plus, it was my mom's birthday. we also had cousins tony and justin over. it was nice to see them. i haven't seen tony and his family in a while. justin was down from oregon sans his family. it was a nice and small gathering. tons of food. ugh, i stuffed myself silly.
it was a little bittersweet being with my family during christmas. i've spent the last two christmases in boston. although it feels like ted never happened (thanks to osoms), i enjoyed spending time with the parkers. especially his mother, paula. she and her husband (ted sr.) were both so nice and always hospitable to me. the last time i was there, paula told me that ted and i would have beautiful children. a little sad, isn't it? i never really said goodbye to them. honestly, i think it was because i never wanted to have to say goodbye to them. they are really good people. it still amazes me that ted could have come from that family. bygones.anyway, i hope that everyone has a lovely and safe christmas!
