Jul. 8th, 2014 12:25 pmI went to my sister's baby shower in St. Louis and it was fantastic! She has lots of neat friends who were all very excited to throw her a party, so that was great. (Her best friend and I were nominally in charge of the shower, but we mostly asked other people to do stuff, not living in St. Louis ourselves.) E was in charge of handing my sister the presents, a task which she took Very Seriously.
My sister also has an awesome huge Brand New (built two years ago, when they bought it) house that we all stayed at. Elena adored their (finished) basement. We've informed her her house is going to be the vacation destination from now on (as opposed to my parents' house, which is almost as large but which is farther from us and farther from a major airport).
It was also my sister's husband's birthday, so I bought him Dominion, which we ended up playing a LOT of; it's terrifyingly addictive to the kind of personality who enjoys Settlers of Catan (which describes both my sister and me, and as it turns out her best friend and our cousin). Brother-in-law turned out to be the best at it :)
