insane amount of gifts

Dad & Shrek


Mom modeling her Trekkie gifts

Me and the brother

Brother & SiL

Me

Don’t ask why the 92 year old Granny has a bow on her head

The family that gambles together that's me between the parents. The lucky uncle is behind me. Seated is granny and lucky uncle's wife and the blonde is my cousin and her husband. Notice what we're wearing...ALL in casino clothing.

Good googely boogely, that really is an insane amount of gifts - glad you guys had such a nice time (and yay to the 92 yr old granny with the bow on her head!)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

we did and isn't it though?

[trixiefatcat.livejournal.com]

Because she's 92 and the rules no longer apply to her??

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that was my thought

92 year old women can wear whatever the hell they want. *g*

Looks like you had a great time. And I love the last picture. :-D

92 year old women can wear whatever the hell they want that's my assumption

Ha, love these especially granny with the bow and dad with Shrek. That's an impressive array of liquor bottles, I must say.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh yes. My parents put that bar in during the 70's (which explains a lot)mom loves to entertain

[lyricnonsense.livejournal.com]

*chuckling* I think I love your Granny! She looks to be quite the scamp at times.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

she can be

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you got to be around her for the holidays! I miss mine, and regret I never lived closer to get to know my Granny better.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

we all just wish she were a nicer person since she's very controlling and often not very pleasant

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

Honey....the woman is almost 100! She's entitled. *smile*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i'd agree if she hadn't been like this all her life. She's just like her daughter in law (mentioned in my last post) no wonder they hate each other

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

Oh my...that makes for some 'fun' family times!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh yes

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

*chuckling* Sounds almost as intriguing, and stressful, as being at a Bramble gathering. OYE this clan is so dysfunctional!!!! I've tried for nearly 28 years to understand them....*shaking head*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i give up

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

*LOL* Sometimes it's the best thing to do, in order to keep from blowing your stack.

I finally decided it wasn't worth my blood pressure, trying to get this clan to understand family was more important than the almighty dollar. But they seem to have always been obsessed with that....Scots ARGH!

Weird, but ever since Gerry died the ones left are somehow starting to realize the history they lost. Tough noogies, they can wallow I've got better things to do.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i hear you. Many of my family have the same obsession. I can handle that. It's the intolerance I can not

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

OOOOH is the Bramble clan FULL of intolerance! The stories Ishte witnessed!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

ugh

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

Weellll....it was never dull. Aggravating, guaranteed to raise your blood pressure, and it took great restraint to not throttle one or two of them from time to time.
