Skip to Christmas

Skip talking about Fall school because its totally boring.

Let's talk about Christmas and New Year's instead!  It's been a very relaxing December...somehow.  At church a week before Christmas, I saw my friends playing violin in the corner of the lobby.  Apparently, I was supposed to be up there, but never got the e-mail.  Argh.  Oh well.  I had already had too many orchestra concerts earlier in the month anyway.  Also, Matt got baptized in the first service and I wouldn't have been able to go congratulate him if I was getting ready to perform in the lobby.  Btw - I am sooooooooo excited for you Matt!!! Congrats on your baptism!

So for Christmas we camped out in Mary's room.  At 4am in the morning I wasn't feeling well and had to get up and take medicine.  I was seriously not going to let a rough night ruin my Christmas experience.  I was feeling a little better in the morning and came down to open stockings and one present.  When the parents FINALLY came down at 8am, we started on the bacon, pancakes, donuts, etc.  THEN PRESENTS!!!!!!!  I have to say, it was kind of hard to not feel well when your little sister is dumping presents on you.  My fav HAD to be the Double Attachment Curling Iron.  It had a curler and a straightener...and the handle was purple, my faaaaaaaavorite color!!!!  Jr/Sr Banquet here I come.

My cousins, Peter and Elizabeth came over on Christmas day.  They both just graduated from college and they are awesome.  Elizabeth brought her brown Spring Spaniel named Sam (short for Samwise the Brave).  Peter brought his hilariousness.  We played video games, went to parks, and watched movies all night for the next week.  Fun times yeah :)

P.S. - Hopefully I will get some pictures of my cousins up here, because photos are better than descriptions
