SPR: I have no idea what she is talking about....
So, we are going to a family reunion at the end of the month. Each family has to take a night and make dinner. I suggested to do "Christmas in July" and my SIL ran with it.
I just got this email from her and I have NO IDEA what she is talking about
Ho Ho Ho.
Here is a list of what I just ordered - Mom is getting melting snowman bean bags to decorate the table, Christmas kazoos (to do the xmas songs with) and inflatable xmas balls for the pool...
Prefix Item # Description Personalization Qty. Units Shipping Price
IN 4/699 JINGLE BELL NECKLACES
2 DZ Est Delivery 7/16/07 $4.95
IN 4/3841 CANDY CANE FOIL BURST
2 PC Est Delivery 7/16/07 $2.29
IN 4/1689 PLASTIC SNOWMAN HOLIDAY TABLECLOTH

1 DZ Est Delivery 7/16/07 $2.95
IN 4/3476 SANTA HAT W/FELT BEARD
1 PC Est Delivery 7/16/07 $1.49
We are going to get ham and turkey for dinner, mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, rolls and gravy for dinner.
For dessert we are going to buy pre-made cookie dough and let the kids make xmas cookies.
I would like to serve the adults a Christmas cocktail called Poinsettia - triple sec, champagne, and a little cranberry juice. And serve the kids Shirley Temples (with cherries, add to shopping list)
I am going to copy some songs and hand them out per family to perform via kazoo.
We are NOT doing gifts. Thank the wallet.
** the Santa hat with felt beard is for BURRO CHRIS DEVINE. Burro ***! Kate has an xmas outfit I sent to her to make the gorgeous un-burro Christopher. Sophie can wear tights and her silver shoes...no, that's all. And maybe some interpretive water markers streaks. And my lipstick.
Grocery List (Mom, we will get all this when we are in Ocala, okay? We can split the $$)
5 bottles cheap-*** champagne
1 bottle Triple Sec
1 bottle cranberry juice
(note to Mom - bring the Ibuprofen to combat cheap-*** champagne)
1 big-*** can of cherries
2 turkey breasts
1 ham
1 huge-*** can of corn from Sams -ginormous.
1 huge-*** can of gravy
3 cans of those poppin-fresh whatevers for rolls
7 tubs of Country Crock Garlic Mashed Potatoes (and you know that E is there just for Dan Quale - VPs can change the world, I tell you. And get you in jail and then pardoned if yr name is LIBBY)
onion
2 boxes of butter
At your discretion tubes of cookie dough
2 bottles of Sprite for the kids drinks
Chris/Kate - can you come up with a bunch of Xmas music to put on your ipod? We can then play it through dinner. And bring that horrible xmas CD I sent to you last year if you still have it!
Mom - I saw Xmas decks of cards on that site too, maybe get a pack for the cheap-*** champagne induced card game that will likely occur?
Its less than a month now. Holy Shizzle...or as Sophie says, Ohhhhh Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis. Klassy.
anything I am missing?
--------------------------------------------
Thought that people would get a laugh out of the insanity that is going to be my vacation...
Oh and I have no idea what outfit she is talking about for my child.....

I am actually laughing my butt off b/c she is so UNorganized. This is SO all going to fall apart and DH and I are going to have to fix it.
I am seriously trying to figure out if I have a donkey costume for my son that she sent me

Ok, this is what she sent us for Christmas last year (with DH)
No, I am not kidding, that is a calendar from a chinese restaurant...and I do not know why
ETA: I think I should change the name of this post to "Does anyone have a more insane SIL?"

OMG...Is that ALL she sent? OMG, your family , in laws I should say , are so flipping funny.
You need to write a book about all these stories.
Call it "tales of a pack and play" ...and take it from there

Re: SPR: I have no idea what she is talking about....
 This is so comforting to read this (and funny, too). To know that I'm not alone! That could have been written by one of my sisters. I love how she used "cheap-azz" to describe everything. This is your husband's sister?
Oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis, I love it!!
