Best Moment #1 – On the way up to visit the in-laws, our credit card gets declined.  Now you could be forgiven for thinking that it’s because of our lackadaisical financial attitude, but you’d be wrong.  It’s because someone made a fake card with our number on it and was doing their Christmas shopping at the toy store and the gas station with a hella lot of liquor store purchases thrown in for good cheer.

Best Moment #2 – Wednesday night, dinner.  Alex’s cousin, who had been sick with the flu the night before is eating lasagna.  (Why feed lasagna to a 2 year old recent flu victim?  Your guess is as good as mine…bygones.)  All of a sudden he wails, his head spins around and he pukes – on the table.  Excellent.

Best Moment #3 – Thursday -post Thanksgiving food coma, phone rings.  My MIL answers, conversation ensues.  Then, she says, “Hold on, I’ll ask…”

To the assembled group which includes Brett and I, my sister-in-law, an uncle, and my FIL, “Jane wants to know what a r!m j0b is?”

Apparently not everyone spends thier post-Thanksgiving meal in a food coma.
