How cool is my baby sister?

Tonight is Christmas Eve and for the first time since I became a mother at age 23, my children aren't with me because this is the first year they are spending Christmas Eve/morning with their Dad.

I went over to my sister and bro-in-law's house to eat and enjoy how excited my niece and nephew are about Santa's impending arrival, but after a while I started feeling really sad because I miss my children so much, so I told my sis I was going to head home.

So she suddenly produces this Christmas-Eve-without-your-kids care package she had put together for me, complete with several gossipy taloids, adult beverages, chocolate, and other yummy stuff.

And tomorrow my children come home :-) Can't wait. Can't wait. Can't wait.
