I was fine with the extra family at Thanksgiving & Christmas eating at card tables

It turned out to be a win win in the end....we got a hand-me-down table still in great condition, gave it some TLC, and everyone got to sit at a real table for the holidays.

priorities right?! 
better not let the family see the part about card tables though They knew the deal about the card tables.

Our extended family is great. They laughed & said have fun.

That is too funny! 
Nice!

She was super jealous. Then again, she didn't even know about the new MK Addition.

Well, don't leave us hanging 
Did you find your item with a Disney character on it??My husband said no about Disney characters for our wireless head phones in our car. We have 2 sets & need 2 more. He said it would only cause fights with the kids, so the next ones we order have to be plain.Amy wrote:Monakie78 wrote:When you're looking to purchase a specialty item.

I still need to search more on the watch I want. I need a new running watch, with at least a digital compass & pedometer. So far-no Mickey.
I did actually find one Mickey Mouse watch but it looked pretty big and clunky. Definitely designed for the littler set...sigh.
The character headphone issue made meMonakie78 wrote:

! I have two girls who, even in their teens, bicker over stupid stuff, so I totally understand! Now, if you ordered two plain sets, and then let the kids put their own stickers on theirs... 
It's funny you mentioned the stickers. When I used to work my 9-5 job, I would put Disney stickers on my stuff at work....bottom of laptop, pencil cup, desk organizer. People at work would make fun of me. It's not like they were everywhere. I usually put them on the bottom of things, so you wouldn't know it was there unless you picked it up. It made me happy. Well, my co-worker Geoff picked on me one too many times...so one day Disney stickers mysteriously appeared on his work things-all over!cy1229 wrote:The character headphone issue made meMonakie78 wrote:
