I was up surprisingly early and in not as much pain as I thought I would be from the run. Emmy needed a bath before our Chew family Christmas dinner so I hopped her in the tub before Nick woke up. She got a good scrub down and we were out the door to my parents' place by 8:30. I don't know why I've been waking up so early on weekends because it is certainly difficult for me to wake up on weekdays. Whatever the case, I get way more done when I wake up early.

Emmy was pretty wet when we were going to my parents' house so I put on
her jacket. She hates this jacket, but it's better than her getting sick in the cold.
I also blasted the heater in the car on the drive. |
 |
Once we got to the house, I made her get under the blanket. She didn't stay
there for long as there was much movement going on in the house. |
My Mom and I headed to Costco and then to Ranch 99 to pick up last minute food before I got started on my time sheet. I posted this on Facebook and a friend commented that this is OCD status. If you know me well, you'll know that I've been like this since I was a little girl. Such is life. Unfortunately for Christopher, he has to deal with it. I was successful in getting everything on my list done and a couple of Christopher's items too as he had a very large pile of clams and muscles to clean before we went to my cousin's house to celebrate Christmas with the Chin side of the family.
 |
Every year Christopher is set to cleaning clams, a task that is tedious and he
hates. At least it's only once a year. |
 |
All my hard prep work got me this. My green beans and brussel sprouts were
par-boiled, garlic and bacon sliced, cioppino veggies chopped, prawn dipping
sauce done, and spicy clam mis complete. All I had to do was throw everything
into the wok to finish off right before dinner. |
Mid-afternoon, we all piled into the Pilot with our gifts and food and headed to Jen Jen's house for Christmas Eve dinner.
