For mild-mannered Minnesotans, my husband’s family can be sort of crazy at times. Despite the weather they hadn’t even considered rescheduling last night’s dineout, to celebrate my youngest sister-in-law’s birthday. It was a white knuckle drive all the way to the restaurant, especially with the husband behind the wheel. The roads were super sloppy, pre-plow. We saw several cars that had spun out and a few times nearly became stuck ourselves. So naturally I was a little cranky and cross by the time we arrived, but the little man enjoyed himself (he’d been looking forward to the birthday cake all day long). And I was sitting next to the birthday girl’s girlfriend, who, as it turns out, is really into RPGs. She provided much entertainment. For me, anyway. The look of confusion on my in-laws faces, as she went on at length about class four spells and dark mages, was priceless. I intended to take more photos of the festivities, but the batteries died. Doh.
