Mix margaritas when the eggnog's gone-

I am in Austin, drinking coffee spiked with Irish cream and hanging out with the family.

Man, I really love these people. My sisters are funny, beautiful, intelligent, amazing friends. One is currently incubating a nephew to be named, Connor. My dad is the kindest, most thoughtful, most giving and most fun loving man who maintains his amazing spirit whilst working too hard for too many years. He loves his family a lot and he would do anything for us. My brother in law is farther testament to how great of a guy my dad is; my sister only settled for the best! He is a wonderful person and I am so glad he has joined our family! My dad's lady is awesome too- but she has her own family stuff and won't be over until dinner tonight.

Mom and the littlest sister are far away in El Paso which is a bummer- but today I am thankful for who I have here and cannot believe how lucky I am to call these folks family!

Gotta go help make peppermint ice cream.

Merry Christmas from the family!
