It really was. I finished up making stuff to bring to Karla's just as Diana was coming to get me. Her father drove us and we got to Karla's early. Big Carla and JP were there and Michael and his girlfriend, Catherine and her two little ones. The house was filled with children and presents and food. I got presents too.
Then Diana and Big Mike went to pick up the guys. Their flight was delayed in Detroit so they got in later than expected. When they came in they ate and then the flurry of real presents started. Oh my God -- I got presents. My son gave me a goofy mug -- shaped like a prescription bottle for coffee and a chocolate bar and a bath pampering set but most beautiful of all was a wall thing with a beautiful poem about mother. I cried. Couldn't help it.
Sammy bought gifts for everyone and made sure they were special to each person. She got me Dr. Who chocolates!! Three Tardis's and three Daleks and they're amazing.
Diana and James got me a really nice fragrance diffuser and Carla and JP got me snowman dishtowels.
I didn't expect a shower of gifts and am so touched.
Christmas at Karla's, with all the kids all over the place, is how Christmas should be. I am blessed to have such a wonderful family.
