Family Galore!

With Christmas not being to far behind us all, I thought I'd mention the oddities(is that a word?!) of my family! I don't even know where to begin honestly. I'm just going to include the events that occurred over the most recent visits...

Dad's Side

• going to my grandparent's favorite pizza joint and waiting over an hour for my pizza
• we stayed there so long because they were convinced it'd be out any second
• my grandma calling my aunt because she had missed her call earlier, only to end up hanging up on her
• my grandpa calling my aunt to explain to her what we were doing
• he had to explain this all in his very drunken manner
• my grandpa reaching over several times to honk the horn while my dad is driving through downtown La Crosse
• this includes going past the county jail
• my grandpa rolling down the windows of our van to blast Christmas music as we drive through the Rotary Lights in Riverside Park
• my grandma, mom, sister, and I all playing "Words with Friends" on Facebook for at least 5 hours straight together
• my dad driving around my grandparent's block to honk again as we left town
• and many, many more fun memories were created at my dad's side!!

Mom's Side

• getting forced into my grandma's kitchen of her new cafe to watch the cook make a hamburger
• my cousin ignored the gift we gave him because he already got what he wanted for Christmas and didn't need anything else
• he's only 3 and was satisfied with what he already had!
• my grandma's coworker's husband showed us all a "stake" mealworm
• more deer hunters came into the shop to get tagged
• my aunt's new husband's family decided to have their Christmas dinner in the cafe, so we got kicked out
• my grandma didn't wrap our presents
• she through them into a bag and didn't even label them, we just got to pick whatever we wanted
• and our gifts were basically pajama pants from Aeropostale and chocolate
• my grandpa left without saying good bye, again

 Well there you have it! My dysfunctional family life! Sometimes I wonder how I'm related to any of them.. But I have my quirks too!
