Although I do have to say that the Kindle Fire HD that my bosses bought for me was pretty special too! And the games that I downloaded to it for DS kept him happy and out of the kitchen while I was cooking! I think he may like it almost as much as I do!

Merry Christmas a bit late everybody!
Ours was great, the kids were spoiled rotten (they get fewer presents, but everyone went for a bigger bang if you will) and are happy as can be. DH is on vacation this week, so I may get to go to bed before 1 am some nights this week :-)
We had a tiny amount of drama last night at MIL's. MIL asked FIL a question and he blew up at her. She told him to turn it down and asked him what was wrong, he kept flipping out until we were all "Bye! See you later, thanks for dinner!" and heading toward the door. He has these sharp swings that, combined with some of his other issues, make me worried for him.

Is he diabetic and his sugar is out of whac? My dad would do that - of course it could be other things too.
I'm enjoying leftover french toast casserole this morning and loving it. I looked at a few recipes and took elements from each to create my own recipe, so I'm even more excited at how it turned out.
Also, as much as I love my parents, they were really irritating me. I'm concerned at how quickly and easily my mom goes from general frustration to snapping at people, especially my father. It's stressful for me and I feel like I need to be the peacemaker. But all the food was delicious and I have lots of leftovers (lasagna, french toast casserole, lamb shanks). Diet starts once the leftovers are gone.

Nope, he is fit as a fiddle. He has high BP and is remission for cancer. BUT, over the last few years he has been getting confused more easily, more forgetful, and he has more of these kind of blow-ups. So it's to the point where MIL & I both wish that he'd go get himself evaluated for alzheimer's, he says he was evaluated at his last physical but I doubt it.
