Uncle

This past weekend was a little bittersweet. It was great having the family in town visiting but sadly Uncle couldn't partake in the fun... he was in the hospital having surgery :( But, it sounds like everything went very well and "c" word is no longer in his body.

Kinda scary how alike they look...

While Uncle laid in his hospital bed recovering, my aunt, cousin, mom, sister, brother, Kevin and myself enjoyed a few beers and a little holiday shopping. Hey, hey... Uncle said he didn't want us there staring at him all day. So instead we decided to go Macys and burn a little hard earned cash. We then hit up Byerly's flower department and showered Uncle with a Christmas cactus, crosswords, and candy treats.

"Cousins don't shake hands!! Cousins gotta' hug!!"

Auntie and Jeff stayed at our place in Burnsville and we were so happy to have the company!! It gave me an excuse to make lots of cookies and banana bread and not see it go to waste. Thanks Uncle for giving us a reason to get together and we are so happy that you are feeling better!! Can't wait to see you at Christmas!!!
