christmas surprise

just a quick posting.

dad loved his belt buckle (shaped like waffles with two slabs of butter on it)
mom loved her bath stuff (some bath bombs and body butters that smell like various ice creams) and her LOTR puzzle book
tom loved his naked homer pj pants
sara loved her 'dinner will be ready when the smoke alarm goes off' apron
sara and tom loved the triplets of belleville dvd and soundtrack
kyla loved the fun bath foam
rylan loved his slippers and shaver

and oh my...

my parents gave my sister and i a spinning wheel. yeah an actual spinning wheel. like sleeping beauty. sara and tom are getting sheep in the spring for the farm with a llama. so we'll be able to spin the wools. sara wants to get into dying the yarn and so forth. wow.
sara and tom gave me a shortbread dish, with the scottish thistle imprinted in it. gorgeous. made in england.
rylan gave me a car stereo for nessie the nissan, and a short that says 'i Is a kollege stoodent' on it. and an SNL best of JOhn Belushi collection.

wow.

ellie is feeling better. she had us scared for a little while.
rylan is feeling better too.
dad's still sick and so is sara. and tom's back is still sore from pulling it at work.

thats the update for now.
