The Beast ended up dropping me off at the Princess' house since she was running late and had intended to be the one to pick me up to bring me to Tara's house. Once there, I discovered just how badly the lot is graded. Very scary when you are using crutches to move across it without falling down again. But we all made it inside safely.
Sheepie and Teach had been at the Princess' house when I got there and Sheepie drove with us to help keep Gunner happy. Teach followed us in their car since they had a party to attend a little later.
I needn't have worried about only getting gifts for the kids since that seemed like the scorecard for the evening with only a couple minor exceptions made. The Princess didn't even flinch about the *entertainment* set I bought for Chewlee (guitar with built-in amplifier, microphone and stand) but I was totally shocked at what the kids found the most exciting....the Hoverballs! They could hardly wait to get them out of their package and start kicking them around. LOL! Chewlee, however, was excited over the Snackeez that I got for her. She thanked me a couple times because she REALLY wanted one. Chance wanted to play with his Nerf snowball thrower but Tara didn't want to take the chance that he would knock off one of her glass ornaments on her tree so he was told to take it into his room or wait until tomorrow. Once he discovered he had a Hoverball, that was fine with him. It turned out that it was one of the things he wanted but Tara hadn't gotten for him.
After the kids opened their gifts, I was ready to go home so Tonto drove me. He's mellowed out after several brushes with death and I find I like this guy better than the one that originally was dating Tara. Too bad the two of them can't get back together but I think Tara is beyond having a man in her life right now. She's too used to being the boss of her life. When you have a man around, no matter what, you have to make compromises that aren't always what you really want to do. Oh well, she's young yet. LOL!
It was a nice evening but you always are glad to be home. I turned the heat back up in my computer room to warm up (I hadn't taken a warm enough coat with me) and I am ready for bed now. Love you all. Hope you got a chance to spend the evening with family and/or friends. Have a very Merry Christmas! ***Hugs***
