Night 1 of Holiday Company....

.....was a success!

Backstory:

My family are all very heavy drinkers. (go figure)

So yesterday my parents arrived. My dad starting cracking open really good beers (IPA's, my fav) and my mom popped open a bottle of wine (another weakness of mine) within an hour of arriving. They drank, had a good time. My husband (who is a great support for me and 100% has my back) had a few beers with my dad - no big deal.
I drank hot tea, and they didn't even notice. If they did, they didn't say anything. Everyone had fun and it was all good. I did fine. Had a few instances where I had to step out of the room and take a few deep breaths, but it was good.

Now the real test is Friday. My 2 brothers and their wives arrive. Staying until Sunday. All heavy drinkers. So I'll have 6 of them around me.

I can do this! (right?!?)
