Kim and my first holiday hosting experience was a great success! It was pretty easy with only my parents and brother here. Too bad more family couldn’t have made it over, but maybe someday Kim and I will have a house that we can get a ton of family to come to. Maybe a bed and breakfast. Anyway, for Christmas we made a tree out of construction paper and decorated with cutout ornaments. It was a lot of fun actually and a nice change from killing a live tree and dealing with everything that goes along with that.
Christmas Eve we went to dinner where Kim was working. Kaspar’s isn’t normally open as a restaurant, but they host fancy occasions there and we were supposed to get half price meals since we were family of Kim. Somehow they ended up covering all but $9 of the meal. We didn’t want to ask why they didn’t cover the last $9 when we were already getting such a great deal, but it is strange.
We played cards and my dad helped me work on the roof. I gave the family copies of the photos that I had scanned so far. On Tuesday Kim and I went back to work and the family departed.
