Everyone is home safe so I can blahg now
I married into the Cfam more years ago than I am strong enough to count. Every year the Cfam gets together sometime in December to celebrate Christmas but more importantly our family! I was telling someone tonight that it took me, an introvert, maybe 10 years to figure out how to deal with Cfam partays. I am kind of beyond that nowadays but I tell people that because I hope it will make them feel welcome because the Cfam is just about the most wonderful family anyone could stumble into.
Today we met up with a couple of new babies. Two of the four baby girls that were born to the Cfam in the last year were there. Other than that, it was a quieter party than we sometimes have. I can’t exactly explain that but it was a good thing.
And then there was the drive home. Which was okay except that we were getting freezing rain intermittently on our southward trip down US23. The GG was driving and I noticed via our GPS that he was driving *under* 60 mph, without any nagging from meeeee.
I text messaged that we were home when we got here and I was SO HAPPY when Lizard Breath texted her own arrival in Detroit, since she had a longer drive than we did.
So the party was wonderful but I am glad that everyone is home safe and tomorrow can be a down kind of day. Or whatever.

Parties are fun, but getting home from them safely is also great. This time of year it can be scary to go out anywhere!
