This year, most of the Andersons got together to celebrate. It was a weekend of turkey, Rock Star, and fake Christmas gifts.
After Mom tried a little tennis on our new Nintendo Wii (our Christmas gifts to each other), Mary, Rob, and Tina made a great Rock Band. Mary led on vocals, and Rob and Tina switched back and forth between drums and guitar. Mom danced. Dad drank cold coffee- just like they would at a real concert.
Rob wrapped Tina's gifts inside boxes of household items - an oatmeal box and a Wheat Thin's box. One of the most memorable moments of the weekend was when Tina was so thrilled to get oatmeal for Christmas. Her reaction was, "I'm so glad you got me oatmeal, because I'm worried they don't sell this kind in New York." Later, Rob tricked her by saying "Uh Oh! Santa forgot a box!" He handed her an empty box of Coke with something inside. It was the same box of Tangoes he gave her earlier. Then, he brought around an empty box of Tissues with her digital camera stuffed inside(by this point, it was old news though).
Tina had a lot of talking to do, especially about Nathan, her wedding plans, and her paper that she received an extension on. Her hard drive crashed after she had spent eight hours on her final paper, so she spent a few hours re-writing it while here.
Mary cooked up a glorious feast. The bird, the stuffing, the potatoes, the veggies... They were all fantastic. She also cooked up a plethora of sweets. She owes all of the family the Seven Layer Bar recipe.
